Procedural Posture

Stay Application / Ruling on Application for Stay of Execution Pending Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the applicant is entitled to a stay of execution of the High Court ruling and order pending appeal.
  2. 2 Whether the consolidated application meets the legal threshold for grant of stay of execution.

Ratio Decidendi

The Court of Appeal, concurring with the reasoning of Bosire JA and Githinji JA, found that the applicant failed to satisfy the legal requirements for the grant of a stay of execution pending appeal. Specifically, the applicant did not demonstrate that it would suffer substantial loss if the stay was not granted, nor did it establish that the appeal would be rendered nugatory. The court was not persuaded that the balance of convenience favoured the applicant, and found no sufficient basis to interfere with the High Court's ruling. Accordingly, the consolidated application for stay of execution was dismissed with costs to the respondents.

Court Disposition

application dismissed

Orders

  • The consolidated application for stay of execution is dismissed with costs to the respondents.
