Judgment No. 19/18 Chamber Application SC 97/18 Ref Case No. SC 847/17 Having found that I cannot stay the execution of the order of the Magistrates’ Court, I must dismiss that part of the application seeking stay of execution of the eviction order. However, in view of the fact that the respondent has not opposed the application for the matter to be heard on the earliest available date, and the facts of the dispute between the parties require that the matter be finalised at the earliest, I will grant the second part of the application seeking an early hearing date. In the result, the application succeeds in part and I make the following order: 1. The application for stay of execution of the Magistrates’ Court order is dismissed. 2. The registrar of this Honourable Court is hereby ordered to set for hearing the appeal under case number SC 847/17 on the earliest available date. 3. Costs of this application shall be in the cause. 8
