mwaji group workshop ltd vs crdb bank plc others 2023 tzhc 20870 16 august 2023

All preliminary objections are overruled. The suit is properly before the court to challenge the consent judgment by way of a fresh suit, the plaint was sufficiently signed by an authorised person, locus standi cannot be determined as a preliminary objection, and non-joinder of Karimjee Jivanjee Limited is not fatal as ownership is not at issue in this suit.
