Holding

The appeal is dismissed with costs to the respondents, and the appeal is set down for hearing on priority basis.

Facts

William Charles Fryda sought to establish a hospital in Nairobi for the poor. He purchased two properties in Lang'ata and one in Elementaita, registering St. Mary's Mission Hospital as the owner. The Assumption Sisters of Nairobi Registered Trustees and the hospital's board of trustees agreed to transfer the properties to Fryda's intended hospital. However, the trustees later claimed ownership, leading to a dispute.

Issues

  1. Ownership of four properties
  2. Transfer of properties to Fryda's intended hospital

Reasoning

The court found no merit in the application for stay of execution, stating that the applicant would not suffer any loss if the decree is executed, and that the properties are to be transferred to the company St. Mary's Mission Hospital.

Appeal dismissed
