The moving party, a lawyer whose licence was revoked by the Law Society Tribunal for professional misconduct, brought a motion for a stay of the revocation pending his appeal to the Divisional Court.
The court applied the three-part test for a stay.
While the grounds of appeal were not strong, they were not frivolous.
The court found the moving party would suffer irreparable financial harm and that the balance of convenience favoured a stay, particularly given his current practice focusing on pro bono and contingency work for the Black community.
The motion for a stay was granted.
