Holding
The respondents have no competent appeal pending before the court and the application seeking to stay the taxation lacks merit.
Facts
The applicant and respondents had an advocate-client relationship and filed a bill of costs. The respondents sought to strike out the bill of costs and later applied to stay its taxation pending an appeal.
Issues

- Whether the respondents can stay the taxation of the advocate-client bill of costs pending the hearing of such appeal.
