Facts

The 2nd respondent advanced a loan to Kibiru Emporium Ltd, and a dispute arose concerning the repayment of the loan. The dispute was referred to arbitration, but the applicant felt there was no fair hearing. The arbitrator's award was set aside, and the 2nd respondent sought enforcement of the award.

Issues

  1. Whether the intended appeal would be rendered nugatory if the stay of execution is denied.
  2. Whether the applicant has demonstrated that the 2nd respondent is incapable of repaying the amount in the event of a successful appeal.

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant has not demonstrated that the appeal would be rendered nugatory if the stay of execution is not granted. The applicant has not shown that the 2nd respondent is incapable of repaying the amount in the event of a successful appeal.

Outcome

Application dismissed with costs.

Orders

  • Stay of execution of the decree is denied.
