20170828 TZHC Arusha

The applicant failed to specify clearly what relief was sought, confusing extension of time to file Notice of Appeal with extension of time to file application for leave. No sufficient reason was advanced for delay in filing Notice of Appeal, as obtaining judgment and decree is not a legal prerequisite for filing the notice. Application dismissed for lack of merit.
