LADYSHIP JUSTICE ANANDA J. AIKINS (MRS).<o:p></o:p>

</div>&nbsp;RULING ON MOTION TO RELIST MOTION FOR
STAY OF EXECUTION PENDING APPEAL<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;On the 3rd of October, 2019,
the defendants/applicants herein filed an application on notice for Stay of
Execution pending appeal. The return date for the said application was 24th
of October, 2019 at 9 O’clock in the forenoon. On the said date the applicants
were not in Court when the matter was called and the Court struck out the
application for want of prosecution.<o:p></o:p>Subsequently on the 31st of
October, 2019, the defendants/applicants filed the present application with the
following title ‘MOTION ON NOTICE TO
RELIST AND FOR STAY OF EXECUTION PENDING APPEAL’ This fresh application
was accompanied by a supporting affidavit the substance of which was a mixed
prayer for the Court to relist the application which was struck out for want of
prosecution and also for an order to stay execution pending appeal.<o:p></o:p>The plaintiffs/respondents have rightly
opposed the application on the ground that the defendants/applicants cannot
apply for a relistment of their application for stay of execution and at the
same time request for a stay of execution of a judgment in respect of which an
application for stay of execution is yet to be relisted.<o:p></o:p>This Court has considered the
affidavits of both parties and it is of the opinion that the
defendants/applicants cannot request the Court to relist their motion and in
the same application also request the Court to grant them a stay of execution
of the judgment District Court Madina.&nbsp;
The request of the defendants as it stands now is a confused one and the
Court is unable to grant it. The motion to relist and stay of execution pending
appeal is struck out as incompetent.&nbsp; The
defendants are to put their house in order.<o:p></o:p>Cost of One Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH₵1,000.00) is awarded against the
defendants/applicants in favour of plaintiffs/respondent.&nbsp; The cost is to be paid by
defendants/applicants before any other application is filed by defendants. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;(SGD)<o:p></o:p>JUSTICE ANANDA J. AIKINS (MRS)<o:p></o:p>JUSTICE OF THE HIGH COURT<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span</main>
