Quick Take
1An appeal challenging the refusal of a permanent stay of proceedings lacks utility and is liable to summary dismissal where the underlying proceedings have already been heard to conclusion.
2A litigant seeking an adjournment of appellate proceedings on health grounds bears the onus of providing objective medical evidence in support; it is not for the court or the opposing party to seek out that evidence.
3The question whether the stay issue could be agitated on any appeal from the final outcome of the underlying proceedings was expressly left open.
