The Court denied the application for stay of execution.

Facts

The Appellant (Issak) filed an application for stay of execution of the judgment and decree issued on January 26, 2023, pending hearing and determination of the application and the intended appeal to the Court of Appeal. The Respondent (University of Nairobi) appealed the judgment and filed a Notice of Appeal.

Issues

  • Whether the application for stay of execution is competent and justifiable
  • Whether the Appellant has established substantial loss that would result if the stay is not granted

Reasoning
