Holding

The application is dismissed with costs to the 1st respondent

Facts

The appellant was granted a stay of execution pending appeal in a previous case, but did not pursue the appeal. The 1st respondent alerted the appellant to the dismissal of the appeal, and the appellant filed a new application for a stay of execution.

Issues

  1. Whether the appellant's application for a stay of execution is merited
  2. Whether the appellant's behavior in pursuing the appeal is justified

Reasoning

The court found that the appellant's application is an abuse of the court process and a delaying tactic, and that he has failed to demonstrate that he deserves the orders sought.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders
