20130712 TZCA Dar es Salaam

The High Court misdirected itself by requiring proof of fraud at the interlocutory stage and by prejudging the main issue, thereby improperly exercising its discretion in refusing the temporary injunction. The proper test was whether a prima facie case was established, not proof of the substantive claim.
