TypeLandlord and TenantPostureApplication for stay of execution pending appealCoramGachuhi Ag, Platt Ag
Holding

The Tribunal is not functus officio, and the Applicant has filed a memorandum of appeal. The application for stay of execution is denied.

Facts

The Tenant/Applicant sought orders to stay execution of a ruling issued by the Tribunal, claiming the Respondents were awarded costs on an unpreceded and unlawful proclamation, and the items proclaimed were exempted from distress.

Issues

  1. Whether the Tenant’s application amounts to a complaint under section 12(4) of Cap 301
  2. Whether the Tribunal has the discretion to grant a stay of execution

Reasoning

The Tenant’s complaint is not a complaint under section 12(4) of Cap 301, and the Tribunal has no discretion to grant a stay of execution. The Applicant has not commenced the procedure under paragraph 11 of the Advocates Remuneration Order which would culminate to a reference.

Outcome

Denied
