Holding

The application is dismissed with costs.

Facts

The plaintiff, Joseph Kamau Kahungu, had his suit dismissed and the defendant's counterclaim allowed. An appeal has been preferred. The plaintiff claims that armed persons invaded the land, threatened to destroy his maize plants, and that without a stay, his appeal will be rendered nugatory.

Issues

  1. Whether to grant a stay of execution pending the hearing and determination of the intended appeal.
  2. Whether the plaintiff's appeal will be rendered nugatory without a stay of execution.

Reasoning

The court finds the application lacking merit due to the lack of evidence of pending appeal and the unsubstantiated nature of the plaintiff's claims.

Outcome

Application dismissed
