The court suspended the current instance proceedings because a specific legal question was already pending before the Full Court in a second-phase appeal. The appellant argued that the Full Court's decision was necessary to resolve the disputed legal point before the lower court could proceed. The court agreed, ruling that the instance must remain suspended until the Full Court issues its decision on the pending matter.
