20161117 TZHC Dodoma

Since the applicant had already lodged an appeal to the High Court, Regulation 25(1) was not applicable, and the Civil Procedure Act provisions were properly invoked. The existence of a pending appeal and the requirement to show sufficient cause justified the application for stay of execution before the High Court. The preliminary objections lacked merit and were dismissed.

Ratio Decidendi

Since the applicant had already lodged an appeal to the High Court, Regulation 25(1) was not applicable, and the Civil Procedure Act provisions were properly invoked.
