BETWEEN:

and
THE OTHERS NAMED IN THE
APPENDIX ATTACHED HERETO
Defendants
Motion by the defendant Bar-Salon 447 Inc., to:
ALLOW a stay of the judicial sale of the movable property of the defendant Bar-Salon 447 Inc. on terms considered appropriate by this Court;
THE WHOLE without costs, unless the motion is contested.
REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
[1] This motion must be assessed in terms of Rule 398(1)(a) of the Federal Court Rules, 1998.
[2] The case law under this rule requires compliance with the three-pronged test in Manitoba (Attorney General) v. Metropolitan Stores Ltd., [1987] 1 S.C.R. 110. In this case the second prong of this test, proof of irreparable harm if the sale occurs, is certainly not met. The affidavit in support of the motion is by counsel for the moving party and this affidavit in no way demonstrates that any such harm would be incurred if there is a sale. Moreover, the written submissions of the adverse party make me strongly doubt that a serious question has been demonstrated here, that is, that the seriousness of the motion to vacate has been established.
[3] This motion is therefore dismissed with costs.
