The defendants moved for a stay of an interlocutory injunction order pending the determination of their motion for leave to appeal.
The injunction restrained the defendants from competing against the plaintiff corporation and from using confidential information or soliciting clients.
The court applied the three-part test for a stay and found that the motion for leave to appeal was unlikely to succeed, the defendants would not suffer irreparable harm that could not be compensated in damages, and the balance of convenience favoured the plaintiffs.
The motion for a stay was dismissed.
