What the courts decided
the appeal was allowed, points to that ruling being part of the ratio decidendi rather than obiter.
we allow the appeal.
The appeal is accordingly dismissed with costs.
I allowed the appeal in HC/RA 145/2025 and held that the AR was wrong to have granted a limited stay of OC 926 on case management grounds.
We therefore dismissed the appeal.
The appeal is dismissed with costs fixed at $109,000 all-in in favour of the first respondent.
