20011219 TZCA Dar es Salaam

The appeal was struck out because the proceedings were instituted on the wrong basis, as Civil Case No. 3 of 1993 did not order foreclosure or sale of the property. Even on merit, the absence of a registered caveat and the bank's lack of knowledge that the property was matrimonial meant the sale could not be nullified.
