Labour law final RULING TANESCO V

final RULING TANESCO V

The court held that since the applicant’s initial application for revision was filed within the statutory period and the delay was due to a technical error in the e-filing system, the applicant had demonstrated sufficient cause for extension of time. Technical delay, as opposed to real or actual delay, justifies the grant of extension.

  • Technical delay
  • Unfair termination

Civil procedure chama cha ushirika cha msingi wa wakulima wa miwa na mazao mengine and another v salumu rajabu kiduli 2023 tzhc 23283 12 december 2023

chama cha ushirika cha msingi wa wakulima wa miwa na mazao mengine and another v salumu rajabu kiduli 2023 tzhc 23283 12 december 2023

The applicants failed to show sufficient cause for the delay in filing the appeal, as the reasons advanced—network error and rejection by the Deputy Registrar—were not substantiated or justified under the law. The failure to attach the drawn order and to seek exemption for manual filing demonstrated negligence, and the delay of even one day was not accounted for.

polycup rachnyo vs simba logistics equipement supply ltd 2022 tzhcld 30 22 february 2022

The order striking out the unsigned CMA F1 was interlocutory as it did not finally determine the rights and liabilities of the parties; therefore, the application for revision is not maintainable under Rule 50 of GN. No. 106 of 2007.

china henan international cooperation group co ltd vs isaya yacobo gwimbugwa 2021 tzhc 12577 29 november 2021

The applicant demonstrated sufficient cause for delay due to technical issues with electronic filing and raised arguable illegality in the CMA award; the absence of a properly filed notice of representation did not prejudice the respondent and was accidental, thus the application for extension of time is granted.

  • Extension of time
  • Right to be heard
  • Notice of representation
  • Unfair termination
  • Electronic filing procedures
