Lorreck and Watts

In the matter of *Lorreck and Watts*, heard before Gill J, the court considered an application for a stay. The precise nature of the underlying dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided text, but the application for a stay indicates a desire to halt or suspend ongoing proceedings or actions.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the applicant had satisfied the necessary criteria to warrant the granting of a stay. This would typically involve demonstrating a strong case on appeal or that the applicant would suffer irreparable harm if the stay were not granted, balanced against the prejudice to the other party.

Gill J dismissed the application for a stay. The court also vacated the directions previously scheduled for 21 May 2018. The matter was relisted for further directions on 3 May 2018 at 4pm, with the mother granted liberty to attend that hearing by telephone.
