Macquarie International Health Clinic Pty Limited v Sydney Local Health District

Macquarie International Health Clinic Pty Limited sought a stay of certain orders made by Ward CJ in Eq on 12 September 2019 in Supreme Court proceedings 2017/83181, pending the determination of an appeal. Sydney Local Health District was the respondent to this application.

The primary legal issue before Barrett AJA was whether to grant a stay of the earlier orders and their enforcement pending the appeal. The catchwords indicate that the matter did not involve a question of principle.

Barrett AJA granted the stay, ordering that the orders made by Ward CJ in Eq on 12 September 2019, and their enforcement, be stayed until the determination of the appeal filed on 25 October 2019, or until an earlier order of the Court. The respondent was ordered to pay the applicant's costs of the stay application.
