selemani jabiri vs mary chatanda another 2019 tzca 679 23 august 2019

The applicant showed good cause for delay as he promptly requested the necessary documents and was delayed by the High Court in supplying them. Since the time to file appeal had already elapsed after receiving the documents and a certificate of delay was not issued, it would be futile to direct the applicant to seek one now. The application for extension of time is granted.
