Rod and Bloomberg (No. 2)

In *Rod and Bloomberg (No. 2)*, Murphy J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the Father for a stay of orders pending the hearing of an appeal. The specific nature of the underlying dispute between the parties, beyond the Father's desire to stay existing orders, is not detailed in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before Murphy J was whether to grant the Father's application for a stay of the court's previous orders. This required the court to assess the merits of the Father's case on appeal and the potential prejudice to the parties if the stay was either granted or refused.

Murphy J granted the Father's application for a stay of orders pending the hearing of the appeal. The court also acceded to a request that the appeal itself be expedited.
