Background: Shawn Frederick Goodall, Rebekah Anne Prather, and Gabriola Cannabis Limited (Appellants) were involved in a shareholder dispute over a retail cannabis store with Mary Lynn Reeves (Respondent). The dispute was settled for $80,000, which included the value of shares, a shareholder loan, and costs, but the appellants failed to pay. Execution proceedings began, leading to the garnishment and partial payment of the judgment amount. The appellants sought to urgently hear a stay of proceedings claiming duress and procedural defects in the settlement. The application was dismissed due to the lack of urgency and significant delay in the appellants' actions.

Legal Arguments/Issues:

• Duress and Procedural Defects: The appellants claimed the settlement was agreed upon under duress and had procedural flaws.
• Urgency of Stay Application: The court dismissed the urgency claim, citing a general lack of specificity in the evidence of financial hardship and significant delay in the appellants' filing for a stay.

Held: The court dismissed the appellants’ urgent application due to the absence of compelling evidence of immediate hardship and procedural delays on their part.

Costs/Awards: The respondent successfully executed the settlement, with close to $70,000 being paid into court in partial satisfaction of the $80,000 judgment.
