Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a lessee of commercial premises, received a six-month notice to vacate from the first respondent landlord. After failing to vacate by the deadline, eviction proceedings were instituted in the magistrates court, which granted the eviction order. The applicant noted an appeal and sought a stay of execution, arguing the appeal suspended the eviction. The first respondent obtained leave to execute pending appeal, prompting this urgent application.
