Ruling
Upon Considering the Application dated 8th January 2026, the Supporting Affidavit evenly dated together with the Court's direction dated 22nd December 2025 the court observes that no prejudice shall be occasioned by the ex-parte consideration of the Application;
1. The Application appears overtaken by event by dint of the self-trigger clause that automatically waived the Interim orders on the 9th January 2026 as earlier granted.
2. The Applicant is the Author of his own misfortune, having not moved the court earlier and belatedly attempting to obtain variation of the conditions set and timelines hardly 24 hours to the expiry of the deadline.
3. If the Applicant was aware of his inability to met the condition set by the court on the 22nd December 2025 then he ought to have immediately pointed it out to the court.
4. The Condition set to benefit the Applicant with the Temporary Stay order no longer exists by dint of passage of time.
5. No convincing reason has been offered for varying the condition or failure to deposit the cash as ordered.
6. The Applicant shall prosecute his pending Application without an interim stay as the matter has timelines set for compliance together with a mention date for compliance.
7. I am thus unable to find any merit in this Application.
8. The Applicant shall ensure he complies with the other directions as set by the court.
9. The Application dated 8th January 2026 is without merit and the same is dismissed without any order as to costs.
10. Matter to be mentioned as earlier scheduled for the 10th February before the trial court.
It is so ordered
