By the Court (Orally)
[1] The panel has considered the written and oral submissions of counsel and reviewed the record. This is an appeal from an interlocutory decision and, therefore, requires leave of the Court.
[2] The hearing judge, Justice Scott C. Norton, considered the applicable legal principles. He committed no error of law.
[3] The decision to refuse the stay motion was an exercise of judicial discretion. The appellant has not demonstrated that the decision results in a patent injustice.
