The defendant sought a stay of execution. There had been a partnership between the parties resulting in protracted litigation. As a result of costs orders already made there could be no financial benefit to the defendant in pursuing her case, and her legal aid had been withdrawn.
Held: The defendant had already failed to comply with unless orders, and her action had no prospect of success. Stay refused.
