20191011 TZHC Dar es Salaam

The applicant's reason for delay—seeking administrative advice instead of pursuing legal remedies—does not constitute sufficient cause under the law. The law requires litigants to act within prescribed time limits, and ignorance or pursuit of administrative remedies is not an excuse. The application is dismissed for want of merit.
