Partial pre-deposit in stay applications may secure interim protection pending appeal compliance.

Waiver of pre-deposit in a stay application was considered in relation to the extent of interim deposit required pending appeal. The applicants were directed to deposit part of the duty demand, and recovery of the balance was stayed subject to compliance. The stay petition was disposed of on that basis, reflecting a partial pre-deposit arrangement rather than a full waiver.
