thomas ndunguru vs getrude ndunguru 2023 tzhc 17949 13 june 2023

The appellant failed to demonstrate good cause for the delay in filing for extension of time, as the reasons provided (raising legal fees and late awareness of proceedings) were found to be misleading and unsupported by evidence. The alleged irregularities in the original decision were deemed immaterial since execution had already been carried out, rendering them moot.
