</div>On 14th
August 2023, the Plaintiffs/Appellants/Applicants (hereinafter called the
Applicants) filed a motion before this court for an order of interlocutory
injunction pending appeal and for stay of execution to restrain the Defendant/Respondent/Respondent
(hereinafter called the Respondent) from taking any step towards the
enforcement of the arbitration award dated 23rd May 2016.&nbsp; The motion is supported by affidavit and
exhibits.&nbsp; The relevant paragraphs are
reproduced below:<o:p></o:p>1.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That a copy of the arbitration award is attached
hereto and marked as exhibit ‘A’.<o:p></o:p>2.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That the
Defendant sought to strike out the writ from the onset indicating that the
institution of a writ to nullify the arbitration award was wrong.<o:p></o:p>3.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This Honourable
Court did not find favour with the stance taken by the Defendant and overruled his
objection and held that a full trial be held.<o:p></o:p>4.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Defendant
sought to quash the decision of this court relating to the conduct of a full
trial but the Supreme Court dismissed the application for certiorari. <o:p></o:p>9.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That on 25th
of July 2023, this Honourable Court delivered its judgment.&nbsp; See a copy of the said judgment attached
hereto and marked as exhibit ‘AX’.<o:p></o:p>10.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
