Holding

The Appellant's notice of motion dated 20th March, 2021 is hereby dismissed with costs to the Respondent.

Facts

The Appellant filed an appeal against the Land Registrar's decision on a boundary dispute, but the court dismissed the appeal. The Appellant then sought a stay of execution of the Land Registrar's decision and related proceedings.

Issues

  1. Whether the Appellant has made out a case for a stay of execution under Order 42 Rule 6 of the Civil Procedure Rules
  2. Whether taxation or payment of costs can result in substantial loss or render the intended appeal nugatory

Reasoning

The court found that the ruling sought to be stayed was not made by this court, and that taxation or payment of costs cannot result in substantial loss or render the intended appeal nugatory. The court also noted that the disputed land can still be recovered by the successful party upon conclusion of the appeal.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
