Holding

The High Court granted a certificate of urgency to hear an application for stay of execution during court vacation. The court found the application satisfied the requirements under the Civil Procedure Act and Judicature (Court Vacation) Rules, as the underlying application to set aside a consent judgment and stay execution would be rendered nugatory if not heard urgently.

Outcome

Certificate of urgency issued; related application to be heard during court vacation
