That there must be an end and finality to litigation. That the question as to whether the application for review should be treated as analogous to a notice of appeal must as a necessary condition be linked to deciding whether the application for review stands a reasonable likelihood of success. That as the applicant’s application for review stood a reasonable chance of success and should amount to a notice of appeal. That the essence of an order for interim stay of execution is that when a party pursues their right of appeal, the appeal shouldn’t be rendered nugatory should it be successful. The stay will preserve the status quo pending the disposal of the appeal. __ ##### Ask AI Ask questions and understand this document faster using AI. __Ask AI * * * Skip to document content **Loading PDF...** 100% This document is 5.4 MB.
