A dismissed application cannot be stayed under the rules, as execution refers to enforcement of a judgment or order, not to the release of property following dismissal. The applicant failed to demonstrate prospects of success on appeal or irreparable harm justifying a stay. The balance of convenience favored the 3rd respondent as the vehicle's continued detention was unjustified.

  • Stay of execution
  • Leave to appeal
  • Attachment to found jurisdiction
  • Dismissal of application
