longututi metishooki vs godfrey melami 2022 tzhcld 1187 25 july 2022

Execution No. 75 of 2007 was not properly closed as required by law; Appeal No. 61 of 2012 was wrongly admitted and determined out of time, and execution order in favour of Respondent was issued without decree or proper process. Applicant's initial lack of administrator status did not vitiate the suit as it was filed to preserve the estate for all beneficiaries. Conflicting orders and procedural irregularities warrant revision and setting aside of impugned proceedings.
