\par }{\f1\fs28\insrsid142807 \par This application is brought under section 98 of the Civil Procedure Act.

The inability of the }{ \f1\fs28\insrsid15485318 v}{\f1\fs28\insrsid142807 ictorious party to be able to refund the decremental amount in the event of a successful appeal is one of such special circumstances i f proved. The Applicant has not adduced any evidence to show that the Respondent will not be able to restore it to the status quo ante if its appeal succeeds. On }{\f1\fs28\insrsid14684067 the part}{\f1\fs28\insrsid142807 of the Respondent it is deponed on oath that it will be able to refund any amount of money received by it if the Applicant}{\f1\fs28\insrsid15485318 \rquote }{\f1\fs28\insrsid142807 s appeal succeeds.
