Summary at a glance

TypeCosts ApplicationPostureRespondent seeks stay of execution of judgmentCoramSO OKONG'O
The Respondent's application for stay of execution is dismissed

Facts

The Applicant filed a bill of costs against the Respondent in a previous case. The costs were taxed and a certificate of taxation was issued. The Respondent did not pay the costs. The Applicant then brought an application for judgment and interest.

Issues

  • Whether the Respondent's application for stay of execution is valid
  • Whether the Applicant would suffer substantial loss if the stay is not granted

Reasoning

The court finds no merit in the application as the Applicant is a law firm and would likely be able to refund the decretal sum if paid. The Respondent has not demonstrated substantial loss.

Outcome

Application dismissed
