ongujo wakibara nyamarwa vs prime catch exports co ltd and another 2021 tzhccomd 2027 17 february 2021

The existence of a conditional stay of execution order from the Court of Appeal, requiring security for costs, ties the hands of the High Court from proceeding with execution until the Court of Appeal issues a final order. Mere filing of a notice of appeal does not bar execution, but a pending conditional stay order does. The application for execution is suspended pending further orders from the Court of Appeal.
