TypeCivil AppealPostureAppeal from a decision of the Political Parties TribunalCoramHON. REUBEN GITAU KARAN
Holding

The court declines to grant the stay of execution and allows the second application, consolidating it with a previous appeal.

Facts

The appellants and respondents are involved in a dispute over a judgment delivered by the Political Parties Tribunal. The appellants seek a stay of the implementation of the judgment, while the respondents oppose this.

Issues

  1. Whether granting a stay of the implementation of the judgment would conflict with interlocutory orders in a previous case
  2. Whether the impugned judgment is non-monetary and thus no security is required

Reasoning

The court considers that granting a stay may conflict with existing interlocutory orders and that the impugned judgment is non-monetary.

Outcome

The first application is dismissed, and the second application is allowed.

Orders

  • The first application is dismissed with no order as to costs.
  • The second application is allowed and consolidated with a previous appeal.
  • Each party shall bear its own costs of the second application.

Remedies

  • Stay of execution of the judgment is denied.
  • The appeal is consolidated with a previous appeal.
