Because credible expert disagreement made the risk of PRRS incursion at least objectively arguable and because the balance of convenience favoured preventing potentially serious and irreversible harm to New Zealand pig herds and the appellant's rights pending the Court of Appeal, the court continued interim relief restraining biosecurity clearances for specified raw pork imports until the Court of Appeal hearing or further order; concerns about delay and trade obligations were addressed by requiring the appellant to prosecute the appeal with vigour and reserving liberty to seek directions.
