The court found that the applicants had not demonstrated any new or important matter, mistake, or error to warrant review of the previous orders. The application for stay of execution was previously determined on its merits by Ngugi J, who found the appeal would not be rendered nugatory if stay was not granted, as the estate mainly comprised land and the applicants could recover their share if successful on appeal. The present application was therefore res judicata. The court also noted the applicants' continued disobedience of court orders regarding administration and non-wastage of the estate. Consequently, the application for stay and review lacked merit and was dismissed with costs.
