atanas ami vs sevela pantaleo mosha and another 2021 tzhclandd 113 24 march 2021

The tribunal erred in striking out the application for being omnibus and for lack of proper citation of enabling provisions, as the law does not strictly prohibit omnibus applications and the cited provisions were sufficient. The matter should be determined on its merits rather than dismissed on technicalities.
