HIS HONOUR:
I have been assisted by Mr Georgiou’s submissions as to the balance of convenience and the vice which he submits can be cured by a stay order as to the order I made earlier this afternoon. However, despite his eloquent submissions, I am unpersuaded to make any stay of the orders which I made.
I had the benefit earlier this afternoon of full argument by the respective lawyers for the parties and made a decision having considered those submissions. My order is not a provisional or interlocutory order but is an order based upon consideration of those submissions and I am unpersuaded that there is any reason to vacate it or to stay it and, accordingly, I refuse the application.
