TypeMiscellaneous Civil ApplicationPostureRespondents opposed the application for stay of execution and extension of time.
Holding

The court denied the application for stay of execution and extension of time.

Facts

The applicant lost a case in Eldoret CMCC 902 of 2009, where the court found he had not proven his case and the respondents had succeeded on their counterclaim. The applicant failed to file an appeal within the time limit due to lack of resources and the court's failure to serve him with notice.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant should be granted a stay of execution
  2. Whether the applicant should be granted an extension of time and leave to appeal out of time.

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant did not demonstrate substantial loss would result from not granting the stay and that the application was merely a delay of the execution process.

Outcome

Denied
