Stroot is correct,

Newbould is going to take as much time as he can to research the issues before making a ruling. Judges, even Newbould who previously was a star lawyer in commercial law, aren't going to rush through a ruling to have it overturned on appeal because of an error in law.

Newbould could extend the stay at his discretion if he requires more time.

Expecting a ruling at the hearing is ludicrous in a case like this, expecting anything before Monday is premature.
