Holding

The application for stay is dismissed with costs.

Facts

David Matuna and 21 others applied for a stay of execution of a ruling by Mwera J dismissing an application to set aside a judgment, fearing eviction from the suit land. They also sought a stay of further proceedings in the underlying case.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicants' intended appeal is arguable.
  2. Whether granting a stay would render the intended appeal nugatory.

Reasoning

The court found that the applicants have not satisfied the court that their intended appeal is arguable and that success in the appeal would not render the intended appeal nugatory.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs

Orders

  • Application for stay of execution of decree by way of eviction or otherwise dismissed.
  • Application for stay of further proceedings in MKS.H.C.C.C. NO. 97 OF 1997 dismissed.
