    Citation
    [2021] NZHC 2598
    Court
    High Court

    The Court refused the stay because on a preliminary assessment the applicants' prospects of success were low given the Authority's detailed factual and credibility findings, significant ongoing operational concerns persisted, and there was no independent evidence of serious financial hardship; on balance of convenience the public interest and risk of continued alcohol-related harm outweighed the applicants' commercial interests.
