Holding

The court finds no merit in the Appellant’s notice of motion and dismisses it with costs to the 1st Defendant only.

Facts

The Appellant sought a stay of execution of a strike out order made by the court, claiming he was the registered proprietor of the suit property and would suffer substantial loss if the stay was not granted.

Issues

  1. Whether the Appellant has made out a case for a stay of execution pending appeal
  2. Whether an order for stay of execution is available with respect to a striking out order

Reasoning

The court ruled that an order for stay of execution is not available with respect to a striking out order, as there is nothing to be stayed in the circumstances since a striking out order cannot be stayed pending appeal.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • The Appellant’s notice of motion dated 25th January 2017 is hereby dismissed with costs to the 1st Defendant only.
