A stay of enforcement of a judgment pending appeal may be granted on condition that the judgment sum is paid into a jointly operated interest-bearing account, where the appeal is arguable and there is a real risk that the judgment debt will not be recoverable from the respondent if the appeal succeeds. The court will balance the prejudice to the successful plaintiff from delay against the risk of irrecoverability, and the conditional payment into an interest-bearing account substantially mitigates the prejudice from accruing interest.
