Administrative law BWEGOGE

BWEGOGE

Court
TANZLII

The application was struck out as premature because the applicants failed to exhaust the alternative remedy of requisitioning a general meeting under section 22 of the Tanganyika Law Society Act. The court found the statutory mechanism to be effective and speedy, and no sufficient evidence was provided to show it was unavailable or ineffective. The court did not address the remaining objections as the first objection was dispositive.

ALBERT JACOB

Court
TANZLII

The trial court correctly denied leave to privately prosecute because civil remedies arising from the contract dispute had not been exhausted, as mandated by section 4(3) of the Criminal Procedure Act. The denial constituted a final order, not interlocutory, and the appeal was dismissed for lack of merit.
