mohamed said msangi v johari peter masonga 2023 tzhc 20428 28 july 2023

The application was omnibus and thus incompetent to the extent it combined extension of time and revision; however, applying the overriding objective principle, the court determined the prayer for extension of time alone. The applicant established sufficient cause for extension based on alleged illegality in the lower court's order, justifying extension of time to file for revision.
