Administrative law RULING PO KOREAN COMMUNITY SERVICE VS CG TRA FINAL NEW

RULING PO KOREAN COMMUNITY SERVICE VS CG TRA FINAL NEW

Court
TANZLII

The preliminary objection was dismissed because the decision to compound offences is criminal in nature and not a civil dispute within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tax Revenue Appeals Board. The High Court retains jurisdiction to entertain applications for judicial review of such administrative actions, notwithstanding statutory finality clauses.

NGOTIETI KOKOYO VS

Court
TANZLII

The petition of appeal was not accompanied by a copy of proceedings, judgment, or order appealed against as required by law. The payment receipt alone is insufficient to enable the court to determine the alleged errors. Therefore, the appeal is incompetent and must be struck out.

Administrative law RULING KOREAN METHODIST NEW

RULING KOREAN METHODIST NEW

Court
TANZLII

The compounding of offences and settlement orders by the Respondent were void for violation of natural justice and failure to afford the Applicant a fair hearing. The charges were defective, lacked essential particulars, and there was no evidence of written admission or consent by the Applicant. The process did not comply with statutory requirements, resulting in prejudice to the Applicant. The orders for payment of Tshs. 750,000 and USD 1,000 were set aside, and the Respondent was compelled to address the dispute according to law and procedure.
