Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant occupied a farm that had been gazetted for acquisition by the state. The first respondent obtained a spoliation order against the applicant. The applicant noted an appeal to the Supreme Court but failed to file heads of argument, resulting in the appeal being deemed abandoned. Nearly 2 years later, when execution was about to be enforced, the applicant filed an urgent application for stay of execution.
