toufiq salim turky vs juma ali juma others 2014 tzhc 2169 9 october 2014

The preliminary objection fails as it is not based on pure points of law; the plaint discloses a cause of action and the plaintiff has locus standi based on his allegations of ownership and infringement. Misjoinder or nonjoinder of parties is not fatal to the suit and can be remedied by amendment.
