Encl. 60 (stay application) was struck out because D3 failed to demonstrate special circumstances; the balance of convenience and justice favored denying the stay as granting it would unduly prejudice other parties and delay the proceedings; the proper course is to proceed with trial and require D3 to pursue the setting aside of the JID (Encl.53) first.

Procedural Posture

Original Claim With Counterclaim (civil) / Trial and Interlocutory Applications (case Management; Hearing on Stay Application; Setting Aside JID Application Pending)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether a stay of proceedings should be granted pending disposal of an application to set aside a Judgment in Default and any subsequent appeal
  2. 2 Whether the stay application (Encl. 60) constituted an abuse of process or was supported by special circumstances
  3. 3 Whether the Judgment in Default dated 5 March 2025 was valid and regular and must be set aside before any stay affecting third parties is granted

Ratio Decidendi

Encl. 60 (stay application) was struck out because D3 failed to demonstrate special circumstances; the balance of convenience and justice favored denying the stay as granting it would unduly prejudice other parties and delay the proceedings; the proper course is to proceed with trial and require D3 to pursue the setting aside of the JID (Encl.53) first.

Court Disposition

Stay application (Encl. 60) struck out; stay denied.

Orders
