Facts
Cape Holdings and Synergy had a dispute over the purchase of a property. Synergy claimed Kshs. 750 million for a purchase it did not complete, leading to an arbitration award in Synergy's favor. The High Court and Court of Appeal overturned the award, and the Supreme Court remanded the case. Cape Holdings appealed to the Supreme Court but was unsuccessful.
Issues
- Whether to grant an order of stay of execution pending the hearing and determination of appeals
- Whether to grant orders of valuation and sale of the suit property
Reasoning
The Court found that the appeals are arguable but not necessary to avoid the judgment's fruits, and the appeals will not be rendered nugatory if the orders are declined.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
