19800715 TZHC Dar es Salaam

The purported transfer of the suit premises to the Objector was ineffective as the premises remained registered in the Defendant's name; only registered dispositions are legally effective under Section 41(2) of Cap. 334. The Objector therefore had no legal interest in the premises and the application for release from attachment was rejected.
