Holding
The application is dismissed with costs to the respondents as the intended appeal is not arguable and there are no positive orders that can be stayed.
Facts
The applicant sought a declaration that the respondents were entitled to be registered as proprietors of a parcel of land measuring 8 acres out of land Title No. Mbeti/Gachuriri/5 (the suit land) by virtue of adverse possession. The trial court also directed the Land Registrar, Mbeere, to cause the respondents to be registered as proprietors of the suit land.
Issues
- Whether the applicant's appeal is arguable
- Whether the trial court's ruling dismissing the applicant's application for review and setting aside the judgment is subject to an order of stay
Reasoning
The court found that the applicant is not challenging the substantive findings by the trial court and that there are no positive orders that can be stayed. The court dismissed the application as lacking in merit.

Dismissed
