Holding

The application for stay of execution is dismissed with no orders as to costs.

Facts

The applicants were originally employed by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, but were seconded to the 1st respondent. They challenged the 1st respondent's decision to redeploy them back to the parent ministry.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicants' suit in the Employment and Labour Relations Court should be stayed pending the hearing and determination of their intended appeal.
  2. Whether the applicants are still intent on pursuing their appeal more than three years after filing the notice of appeal.

Reasoning

The decision to be stayed was a dismissal of the applicants' suit, which is a negative order that cannot be enforced or executed. The applicants have not filed their substantive appeal in this Court more than three years after filing the notice of appeal.

Outcome

Dismissed
