The High Court dismissed a land appeal, holding that the appellant failed to prove ownership of the disputed plot and did not displace the tribunal’s findings.
The plaintiff was initially allocated the disputed plot but failed to pay the required allocation fees within the prescribed 30 days. The plot was subsequently allocated to the 3rd defendant, who holds a valid Certificate of Title. Payment of fees alone does not confer ownership without registration. The plaintiff is not entitled to the reliefs sought.

Source excerpt
The Court of Appeal of Tanzania dismissed an appeal over a disputed plot, holding that payment within time was enough to keep the respondent’s offer alive.
The defendant's offer was validly accepted by timely payment of fees in 1980. Notification to the Land Office, though required, does not invalidate the offer if payment was made. The plaintiff failed to prove payment for the 1983 offer and failed to establish the presence or use of her building materials by the defendant. The defendant is the lawful holder and occupier of the plot.
