Facts of the Case

Background

Applicant sought urgent relief to stop sale in execution of property following attachment based on arbitral award granted to first to sixth respondents in 2015. Applicant's claim to ownership of the property was dismissed by MANGOTA J, and subsequent appeal was deemed abandoned due to failure to file heads of argument. Application was brought to stay execution pending Supreme Court condonation hearing for reinstatement of appeal.
