gerion francis tairo vs jumanne said kitila another 2023 tzhc 20209 14 august 2023

The applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for the delay, did not act diligently, and failed to account for each day of delay from the date the court documents were ready for collection to the date of filing the application. The argument regarding non-supply of documents was not raised before the Court of Appeal and is an afterthought. Further delay would prejudice the respondents given the protracted nature of the dispute.
