The defendant was grossly negligent and failed to file the Written Statement of Defence within the statutory and extended periods. The court's discretion to extend time is limited by the Civil Procedure Code, and the defendant's delay of approximately 110 days is inordinate.

The High Court allowed a civil appeal over non-joinder of a necessary party in a school-construction contract dispute, quashing the trial proceedings and remitting the case for retrial.
The appellant's failure to object to the exhibits at trial, including those bearing the name 'Eden Park', and the documentary evidence on record, justified the trial court's finding that the respondent proved her case on a balance of probabilities. The trial court's decision to hold the appellant liable for TZS 606,733,080.00 was supported by the evidence, and the appeal lacked merit.

The High Court at Shinyanga recorded a consent settlement, adopted the deed of settlement as judgment and decree, waived costs, and marked the suit settled.
The dispute was time-barred as the applicant filed the claim beyond the prescribed 60-day limitation period, and pre-court reminders or negotiations did not extend or restart the limitation period. The applicant was bound by the date of dispute stated in the pleadings and could not rely on continuing breach or reminders to circumvent limitation laws.
