RULING OF THE COURT
This is an application seeking a stay, under rule 5(2)(b) of the Rules of this Court, of a decision of the superior court given on 30 July 1999. The grounds on which a stay may be granted are now well settled: First, the applicant must satisfy us that the intended appeal is arguable. The only complaint urged before us is that the applicant was not granted an opportunity to be heard. But this is not so. It is clear to us that the applicant was given an opportunity but the applicant did not avail himself of this opportunity. The learned judge was plainly right and we are not persuaded that the intended appeal is arguable. Secondly, the applicant must show that unless restrained the appeal would be rendered nugatory. This the applicant has not shown. In our judgment, therefore the application fails and is dismissed with costs.
Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 6th day of December, 2000.
