20150923 TZHC Mbeya

The appellant received Tshs.3,000,000/= as per the signed contract. The letter dated 23/02/2011 constituted a valid novation, not obtained by coercion. There was no legal foreclosure as defined by law; the appellant retains the right to redeem the land upon repayment of the loan. The tribunal erred in declaring the land as property of the respondent and in ordering change of ownership without proper legal process.

  • Mortgage and redemption
  • Foreclosure
  • Novation of contract
  • Evidence in contract disputes
