Quinn & Anor v Swift First Ltd (Rev1) [2022] NICA 43 (18 July 2022)

There were no substantive or procedural grounds to justify granting leave to appeal the refusal of a stay of enforcement. The applicant's arguments had already been comprehensively addressed in previous proceedings, no new evidence was presented, and the procedural complaints were unfounded. The court found the application hopeless and a repetition of previously determined arguments.
