Holding
The application for stay of execution is dismissed with costs to the respondent.
Facts
The applicant failed to defend a suit filed by the respondent in the High Court, resulting in a default judgment. The applicant sought to set aside the default judgment but was unsuccessful. The respondent then obtained a garnishee order nisi, which the applicant contested. The garnishee order was later made absolute.
Issues
- Whether the appeal will be rendered nugatory if the application for stay of execution is denied.
- Whether the applicant can be adequately compensated if the appeal succeeds.
Reasoning
The court finds that the applicant has not persuaded the court that the appeal will be rendered nugatory and that damages can adequately compensate the applicant if the appeal succeeds.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
Orders
- Application for stay of execution dismissed
Remedies
- Costs to the respondent
