The applications are both moot, and the application dated 29/6/2023 is allowed, while the application of 4/7/2023 is dismissed.
Facts
Katherine filed a bankruptcy petition in the court. Siamata has a judgment debt of Kshs. 15,290,849/= and a further debt of Kshs. 7,149,093.30 to SBM Bank. Siamata sought to set aside interim stay orders granted by the court.
Issues
- Whether Katherine is deserving of a stay of execution in light of the pending bankruptcy petition
- Whether the interim stay orders should be set aside
Reasoning
The court found that the pending bankruptcy petition would be rendered irrelevant if the stay orders were not granted, thus undermining the bankruptcy process.
Outcome
The application dated 29/6/2023 is allowed, and the application of 4/7/2023 is dismissed.
