Holding

Application for interim stay of execution withdrawn by consent after parties reached a settlement agreement on costs.

Outcome

Application withdrawn by consent following settlement agreement on costs

Facts

The applicant sought an interim order staying execution of a taxation award of Shs.108,127,000 in EMA 003 of 2024 pending determination of Miscellaneous Application 2560 of 2025. The matter arose from a chain of proceedings originating from Civil Suit No.204 of 2009 of the Chief Magistrates Court of Nakawa, through High Court Civil Appeal 118 of 2011, and subsequent taxation proceedings. Before the application could be determined, the parties entered into a Settlement of Costs Agreement wherein they agreed that Shs.65,000,000 would be paid as full and final costs for the appeal and original suit, and that the present application would be withdrawn with no order as to costs. The court endorsed the settlement agreement on 23 March 2026.
