This was an application for an interim stay of
execution pending a hearing and disposal of
the main application for stay of execution. The
background is that the parties entered a
contract for construction which the applicant
breached and the matter was resolved through
arbitration which the applicant contested in a
high court and the court of appeal and the
supreme court. The applicant filed for a review
of the supreme court decision and the stay of
the execution of the decree and the interim stay
of execution. At the hearing, the respondent
raised a preliminary objection that the
respondent had not been served with the
substantive application, that he hadn’t been
served with the list of authorities and that the
affidavit hadn’t been deponed by an advocate.
