AI Summary Beta Machine-generated — may contain errors. Not legal advice.
TypeCivil AppealPostureAppeal from a judgment of the Business Premises Rent TribunalCoramH. M. OKWENGU
Holding

Order of stay of execution of the judgment pending appeal, conditional on payment of rent and deposit of security

Facts

The Applicants were directed to vacate the suit premises within one month due to reconstruction and renovation by the Respondent. The Applicants claimed substantial loss and difficulty in reinstatement if the appeal succeeds, while the Respondent argued the orders were consistent with earlier High Court orders.

Issues

  1. Whether to stay the execution of the judgment pending appeal
  2. Whether the Applicants have moved from the premises and sub-let it

Reasoning

The judgment involves termination of tenancy and eviction, and without a stay, the Applicants would suffer substantial loss. The allegation of sub-letting is unresolved.

Outcome

Order of stay granted

Orders

  • Stay of execution pending appeal
  • Applicants to continue paying rent
  • Applicants to deposit Kshs.50,000 within 7 days
