Baghti and Baghti

In the matter of *Baghti and Baghti*, heard before Cohen J, the husband sought a stay of certain orders made on 19 January 2010 pending the determination of an appeal. The specific orders in question related to financial matters within the context of family law proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant or refuse the husband's applications for stays of various orders pending his appeal. This required the court to consider the principles governing the grant of a stay of execution, particularly in the context of family law property division and related financial orders.

Cohen J applied the well-established principles for granting a stay pending appeal, which generally involve considering the likelihood of success on appeal, the risk of injustice if the stay is refused, and the balance of convenience. The court's reasoning, though not fully detailed in the provided extract, led to a differential outcome for the various orders sought to be stayed.

Consequently, the husband's application for a stay of Order 8, made on 19 January 2010, was refused. However, his applications for stays of Orders 12, 13, and 14, also made on 19 January 2010, were granted.
