19760204 TZHC Arusha

The district court erred by conflating the appellant's objection proceedings with the main suit and by failing to recognize that the appellant was not a party to the original litigation but only to the objection proceedings. The appellant's application for leave to appeal out of time should have been considered on its own merits.
