Facts
Margaret Wachuke Mutuota and five daughters of deceased Mutuota Muchui filed a succession cause in 1993. The estate was divided among the six daughters, including Mutuota's daughter Margaret. The applicant filed an application for revocation of the grant, which was dismissed. The applicant then filed a civil appeal, which is still pending. The applicant applied for a stay of execution of the judgment and injunction.
Issues
- Whether the appeal is arguable and would be rendered nugatory if the orders for stay of execution and injunction are not granted.
- Whether the applicant has shown that the appeal would be rendered nugatory unless the orders sought are granted.
Reasoning
The court found that the appeal is arguable and raises both legal and factual issues. However, the applicant has not shown that the appeal would be rendered nugatory unless the orders sought are granted.
Outcome
Application dismissed
