Tanzania Case Law

20181030 TZCA Dar es Salaam

Court

TZCA

The appellant failed to provide sufficient explanation for the delay between the striking out of the appeal and the filing of the application for extension of time. The High Court's refusal to grant extension was justified, and allegations of bias were unsupported by evidence. Reliance on extraneous matters and failure to strike out the late counter affidavit did not affect the outcome, as the decision was based on lack of explanation for delay.
