Holding

The application for stay of execution is denied with costs.

Facts

The Respondents/Applicants filed a notice of appeal under rule 75 of the Court of Appeal Rules, but the Claimant/Respondent asserts that no appeal was filed and that the Respondents/Applicants have not met the requirements of Order 42 Rule 2 of the Civil Procedure Rules.

Issues

  1. Whether the Respondents/Applicants have filed a valid notice of appeal.
  2. Whether the Respondents/Applicants have met the requirements for a stay of execution.

Reasoning

The court found the application for stay to be devoid of merit, citing the lack of a memorandum of appeal and grounds for the intended appeal, and the absence of an arguable appeal.

Outcome

Motion denied, costs to the Claimant.
