Execution of a Writ of Possession Stayed by Supreme Court
The NSW Supreme Court exercises its discretion and stays the execution of a writ of possession.
In Secure Funding Pty Ltd v Colin West [2013] NSWSC 746 a short stay of execution was granted by the Supreme Court to allow the borrowers to make the missed payments and to provide evidence of the progress of an application for further finance. The decision demonstrates the scope of the court’s discretionary power to stay proceedings.
