Holding

The application for stay of execution and injunction is allowed.

Facts

Paul Odhiambo Edward Gondi filed a suit against the National Bank of Kenya Ltd. The Bank filed a counterclaim, but the judge did not consider it in his judgment. Gondi was ordered to pay the Bank Shs. 393,537.20 and Shs. 4,150,000.

Issues

  1. The appeal is not frivolous.
  2. The appeal will be rendered nugatory if no stay and injunction are granted.

Reasoning

The court considers that the appeal is arguable and that the applicant's business standing is likely to suffer if the appeal is not granted.

Outcome

The application is granted.
