CHESTERFIELDS PRESCHOOLS LIMITED (IN LIQUIDATION) v SISSON [2017] NZHC 176 [16 February 2017]
- Citation
- [2017] NZHC 176
- Court
- High Court
The stay application was dismissed because the applicant's appeal rights would not be rendered nugatory if a stay were refused (a five‑day trial was imminent and the Court could impose protective conditions thereafter), the proceeding seeking to set aside the liquidation judgment lacked merit and standing and risked being a collateral attack, and granting a stay would cause prejudice and delay to other parties who had prepared for and incurred costs for the hearing.
