Worldwide Corporation Limited v Marconi Communications Limited (Formerly GPT Limited) and GPT (Middle East) Limited: CA 18 Jan 1999

The defendant sought a stay of the order for payment of costs, and a stay of the order made to disclose the identity of those who had been maintaining the action. Questions arose as to the validity of the notice of appeal.
Held: The judge had correctly considered the factors affecting the order to disclose the funding parties. No request had been made to the judge for a stay of the costs order, and therefore the appeal court had no jurisdiction to hear the application.
