The stay was refused because the Company failed to demonstrate an arguable appeal with reasonable prospects of success: the court had correctly found on the available evidence that the plaintiff made out an objective case for investigation and acted in good faith and for a proper purpose; the Company's late assertion that the inspection was a pre-trial discovery device was unsupported and inconsistent; the judge had properly exercised discretion including consideration of implied undertakings and availability of documents in winding-up proceedings, so there was no good reason to grant a stay.
