19930519 TZCA Arusha

The applicant demonstrated sufficient cause for stay of execution as the High Court's order is unenforceable against a non-party, and there is a risk the title deeds may be irretrievably lost if released. The appeal has reasonable prospects, and the balance of convenience favours granting the stay, subject to prompt institution of the appeal.
