jamila tamimu vs emanuel bilinge 2013 tzhc 2238 15 july 2013

The suit is dismissed as premature because the plaintiff should have sought leave to file objection proceedings out of time before the executing court, rather than filing a fresh suit in the High Court. The court holds that the matter is not res judicata as the plaintiff was never heard on the merits, and the proper procedure was not followed.
