aggrey michael mremi vs ministry of finance and planning another 2022 tzhcld 59 28 february 2022

The cause of action arose when the respondent officially denied liability for payment, not at the end of the project. The applicant's efforts to clarify responsibility constituted valid grounds for condonation. The CMA erred in calculating the period of delay and failing to consider the applicant's pursuit of his rights. The applicant is entitled to condonation and the dispute should proceed on merits.
