damari watson bijinja vs innocent sangano 2022 tzhc 142 11 february 2022

The applicant's delay was due to a technical legal defect in the previous appeal, which was filed in time but struck out. The 12 days taken to file the current application were reasonable for preparation and filing. Technical delay is excusable, and the applicant acted diligently. Extension of time is therefore warranted.
