Holding

- Whether the applicant signed the Settlement Agreement under duress.

The Court also found the intended appeal is arguable but not necessarily successful. The applicant failed to demonstrate that the appeal would be rendered nugatory without a stay of execution.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
