DONALDS & DONALDS (No.2)

In *Donalds & Donalds (No.2)*, heard before Judge Carter, the parties were the applicants, Donalds, and the respondent, Donalds. The dispute concerned an application to stay an order made on 21 December 2020, pending an appeal.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant a stay of the previous order. This required the court to consider the principles governing the grant of interlocutory injunctions, specifically the balance of convenience and the prospects of success on appeal.

Judge Carter reasoned that a stay should be granted if the applicant can demonstrate that they have an arguable case on appeal and that the balance of convenience favours the granting of the stay. The court considered the potential prejudice to each party if the stay was either granted or refused. Ultimately, the court found that the circumstances warranted the imposition of a stay to preserve the status quo pending the determination of the appeal.

Accordingly, Order 2 of the order made on 21 December 2020 was stayed pending the appeal.
