Holding
The court denied the application for stay of execution of the judgment, finding that the property no longer exists due to subdivision and that the applicant's defense was struck out.
Facts
The applicant, Mavji Ramji Patel, entered into a sale agreement with Gerald Muturi Maina for the property L. R. No. 209/1832 Nairobi. The agreement was not completed due to the applicant's alleged breach. Patel subsequently sued Maina for specific performance. Patel's defense was struck out, and the High Court granted Maina an order of specific performance.
Issues
- Whether the applicant's appeal is arguable
- Whether the order of specific performance should be stayed pending the appeal
Reasoning
The court ruled that the property no longer exists due to subdivision and that the applicant's defense was struck out, thus the judgment cannot be given effect.
Outcome
Denied
