In the matter of *Summer Hill Business Centre v Equititrust Limited*, heard before Allsop P of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales, the dispute concerned applications for a stay of proceedings and for security for costs. The applicant, Summer Hill Business Centre, sought these orders against the respondent, Equititrust Limited.

The primary legal issues before the Court were whether there were grounds to grant a stay of proceedings and whether security for costs should be ordered. The Court was required to consider the circumstances presented by the parties in relation to these applications.
