TypeCivil AppealPostureAppeal from a judgment refusing to set aside judgments entered against the Appellant in three different mattersCoramISAAC LENAOLA
Holding
The appeal is improperly before the court and the application itself cannot be grounded on any one order to which a stay of execution can be granted. The application is struck out with costs.
Facts
The Appellant was the Defendant in three matters in Isiolo Law Courts. The learned trial magistrate refused to set aside the judgments entered against the Appellant in each of those matters.
Issues
- Consolidation of appeals
- Stay of execution of decrees
Reasoning
The appeal is amorphous and ambiguous due to the lack of a clear order of consolidation of the suits. The judgment is a non-judgment and the Appellant should have been granted an opportunity to challenge it by depositing the decretal sum in court.
Outcome
Application for stay of execution of decrees struck out with costs
