Rana v Survery

In *Rana v Survery*, the appellants sought a stay of an agreement between the parties concerning the holding of an annual general meeting, and alternatively, an injunction to restrain the holding of that meeting pending the hearing of an appeal. The matter came before Beazley JA.

The primary legal issues were whether a stay of the parties' agreement was available in these circumstances, and whether an injunction should be granted to restrain the annual general meeting. The court was required to consider the balance of convenience in relation to the injunctive relief sought.

Beazley JA found that a stay of the parties' agreement was not available. Regarding the application for an injunction, the court expressed reluctance to restrain the holding of the annual general meeting, particularly as the parties had entered into an agreement concerning its conduct. The balance of convenience was not found to be in favour of granting the injunction.

The appellants' notice of motion was dismissed, as was their alternative claim for injunctive relief. The appellants were ordered to pay the respondents' costs of the notice of motion. Directions were also given regarding the filing of a summons for leave to appeal, the concurrent hearing of the summons and appeal, and the expedition of these proceedings.
