20160429 TZHC Mwanza

The grounds of appeal were either new facts not raised or determined at the trial tribunal, or misconceived objections on points of law. The application was dismissed on merits, not procedural irregularities. The tribunal properly relied on the medical certificate attached to the affidavit. Jurisdictional issues were not part of the appeal and cannot be determined in this proceeding.
