The applicants were aggrieved by the judgment and decree of the Commercial Division of the High Court dated the 23rd day of October, 2015 in Commercial Case No. 20 of 2011. They duly lodged a Notice of Appeal on the same date and, in order to forestall the execution of the decree, the applicants presently seek an order of this Court for stay of the execution pending the hearing and determination of the intended appeal. The application is by way of a Notice of Motion which is predicated under Rules 11 (2) (b) and 48 (1) (2) of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules, 2009 (the Rules). The same is supported by an affidavit duly affirmed by the second applicant, to which the Respondent did not reply.
