Although there is a serious issue to be tried on the validity of the Additional By-Law, the Plaintiff failed to show damages would be inadequate, the balance of convenience favours the Defendant performing its statutory duties, no mala fides or illegality was established, and the legal status quo is the continued enforcement of the duly registered by-law; accordingly the ad interim injunction was dismissed with costs.

House Rule No.3 was validly enacted under s.70(2) SMA 2013 for legitimate regulatory purposes and did not contravene s.70(5) because the short‑term rentals operated by the appellants were licences (transient occupancies akin to hotel/lodger arrangements) and therefore did not constitute ‘dealings’ (tenancies or tenancies exempt from registration) protected by s.70(5); consequently enforcement of the House Rule was lawful and the appeal was dismissed.
