20141030 TZHC Mwanza

The appeal was dismissed because the application for execution was legally improper for failing to annex the decree, and the appellant sought execution of matters not contained in the original decree. Although the Tribunal erred by visiting the locus in quo in the absence of the appellant, the application itself was fatally defective and had to fail.
