Holding
The court dismisses the appellant's application for a stay of execution with costs to the respondent
Facts
The appellant filed a suit in the lower court seeking to reinstate a caution previously registered against the suit property, which the lower court and this court had previously refused to do. The appellant then appealed to the Court of Appeal and filed an application for a stay of execution of this court's judgment.
Issues
- Whether the court's order dismissing the suit is capable of being stayed
- Whether the appellant's application for a stay of execution has merit
Reasoning

Outcome
