20020711 TZCA Dar es Salaam

The application for stay of execution is dismissed because the High Court order was clear that the vehicles should remain with the respondent pending final determination of the suit, and the applicant's conduct was found to be high-handed and unwarranted. There was no justification to order the vehicles to be returned to the applicant.
