The appellants, a motor vehicle dealer and its sole director, moved for a stay of a Licence Appeal Tribunal order revoking their registrations pending appeal.
The Tribunal had found the appellants breached multiple conditions of a prior consent order, including failing to disclose material facts to consumers and trading without required education.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion for a stay, finding the appellants failed to establish a serious issue to be tried, irreparable harm, or that the balance of convenience favoured a stay given the public interest in consumer protection.
