In re Lyduska Hornik alias Lyduska Hornik Piootto alias Lidia Hornik Piottio [2025] KEHC 3009 (KLR)
The court cannot grant a stay of a negative order (the dismissal of objections and declaration of Will validity). Furthermore, a stay of proceedings pending appeal in a succession matter requires filed grounds of appeal, demonstration of sufficient cause, and proper filing of an appeal, which necessitates obtaining leave to appeal first under Kenyan succession law. The applicant failed to meet these requirements and the application for stay would cause undue delay in finalizing a long-pending succession matter.
