A corporate applicant seeking a stay of execution pending appeal must adduce specific and sufficiently extensive evidence of its financial inability to pay the judgment debt; evidence that a shareholder is unwilling (as opposed to unable) to provide funds is insufficient. The threat of liquidation does not render an appeal nugatory where a receiver or liquidator could pursue the appeal. The windfall nature of a judgment debt (e.g., arising from statutory prohibition under s 42(3) QBSA) does not diminish the judgment creditor's entitlement to enforce it.
