Conclusion on the application
Conclusion on the application
Accordingly, the application of 9 September 2025 for a stay pending the prosecution of the fresh Part 7 claim must fail, and it is accordingly dismissed. I will record that it was totally without merit, as always bound to fail, as indeed were those of 13 August 2025 and 4 September 2025.
