The Applicant failed to prove the outcome of the appeal or show any legal basis for refund of the Kshs. 200,000 security deposit. Since the appeal had been dismissed and the lower court decree and appeal costs remained unpaid, the deposit continued to serve its original purpose and could not be released to the Applicant; it was to be held for partial settlement in favour of the Respondent.
