The application for execution was rendered moot because the respondent provided a valid and current bank guarantee in compliance with the court's previous order. As there was no longer a live controversy regarding the adequacy or validity of the security, the court found no legal question remaining for determination.

The application was dismissed as it had been overtaken by events, with no order as to costs.
