Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, Sibambene Traders Association, sought an urgent stay of execution of an amended court order in HC 774/17 which had made the applicant the 2nd respondent's trade name. The applicant claimed it was never a party to the original proceedings and only became aware of the amended order when served with a writ of ejectment on 30 November 2021. Despite filing both a rescission application (HC 1951/21) and this urgent stay application on 15 December 2021, the Sheriff proceeded with execution on 17 December 2021, completing eviction before the matter could be heard.
