TypeAppealPostureRespondent/Applicant seeks stay of execution of court's judgementCoramHON. LUCY. N. MBUGUA, ELC JUDGE
Holding

The application for a stay of execution is dismissed with costs to the respondents

Facts

Applicant Emmanuel Muchomba Kinoti filed a sale agreement with 1st Appellant Juster Gatwiri for a 1-acre plot, but the 1st Appellant failed to transfer the land. The 1st Appellant's father's succession proceedings were ongoing, but the land was not transferred. The 1st and 2nd Respondents colluded to register the land in their names.

Issues

  1. Whether the court should grant a stay of execution of the judgement
  2. Whether the applicant has established substantial loss resulting from the judgement

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant has not established substantial loss and that an order of stay would not render the appeal nugatory.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
