Court
TANZLII

The application for review was dismissed because the alleged errors were not manifest or apparent on the face of the record, and the issue of cause of action, though raised without hearing the parties, was not integral to the final decision. The Court held that review cannot be used to re-argue the appeal or to correct alleged errors that require perusal of the record or elaborate reasoning.

Court
TZHC

The prosecution of the respondent was not actuated by malice and was based on reasonable and probable cause, as the respondent's act of blocking the toilet constituted a disturbance and justified the appellant's report to the police. The respondent failed to prove the torts of defamation and malicious prosecution to the required standard. The trial court erred in awarding damages and in proceeding against both defendants after the death of the 1st defendant.
