Holding

The application for stay of execution of the dismissal order cannot be granted.

Facts

The applicants brought suit No. 21 of 2010 (O.S) in the High Court at Nakuru, where the impugned judgment was delivered. The High Court dismissed the applicants' claim for adverse possession of the land.

Issues

  1. Whether the application for stay of execution of the dismissal order can be granted.
  2. Whether the dismissal order is capable of enforcement and execution.

Reasoning

The dismissal order is not a positive order requiring any party to do or refrain from doing anything and is not capable of execution or enforcement. The principles governing the exercise of the Court's discretionary power under rule 5(2)(b) have not been met.

Outcome

The application is dismissed without costs.
