TypeCivil AppealPostureAppellant seeks an order for stay of execution pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.CoramF. Mucemi
Holding

The court grants the stay of execution pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.

Facts

Appellant Tebere Concrete Company Ltd seeks a stay of execution of a judgment against it, claiming substantial loss and the respondent's threat to auction its goods would render the appeal nugatory. Respondent Abdulrazak Masudi (Personal Representative) opposes the stay, arguing the appeal is not tenable and the applicant has not shown substantial loss.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has shown substantial loss that would result if the stay of execution is not granted.
  2. Whether the application was made with unreasonable delay.
  3. Whether the applicant has provided security for costs.

Reasoning

The court finds the applicant has shown substantial loss and the application was not made with unreasonable delay. However, the court notes the applicant has not demonstrated its willingness to furnish security.

Outcome

The application is granted.
