\par The Defendant, Mathieson, whom I shall henceforth refer to "as the Defendant" has appealed to the Court of Appeal against my judgment and seeks a stay of execution on it pending the hearing of the appeal.
\par 
\par The Summons for the stay of execution was issued on the 18th day of November 1990 but there followed a number of adjournments and the issuing by the Defendant of a further Summons on the 15th day of March 1991 seeking orders that certain parts
 of two affidavits sworn by the First Plaintiff on the 3rd of December 1990 and 19th of February 1991 be struck out.}{\f0\expnd0\expndtw-2\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10105827  }{
\f0\expnd0\expndtw-2\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid2642454\charrsid10105827 I gave my ruling on the last-mentioned Summons on the 4th of April 1991 but did not commence the hearing of the substantive Summons until the 8th of May 1991.}{

By then various affidavits had been filed on behalf of the parties and I shall refer to parts of these during the course of this ruling.
\par 
\par The granting of a stay of execution of any judgment pending an appeal is always a matter for the discretion of the Court and can be given either absolutely or for such period and subject to such conditions as the Court thinks fit.}{
\f0\expnd0\expndtw-2\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10105827  }{\f0\expnd0\expndtw-2\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid2642454\charrsid10105827 
The grounds on which the Court can exercise this power are either that there are special circumstances which render it inexpedient to enforce the judgment or order for payment of money or that the Applicant is unable from any cause to pay the money.

\par 
\par In seeking a stay in the present case the Defendant relies primarily on three grounds: first, that this case is novel with very 
few precedents which could assist the Court and so is something in the nature of a test case; secondly, that he will suffer great injustice if his appeal is not allowed to proceed}{\f0\expnd0\expndtw-2\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10105827  }{
