rs of certiorali mandamus and prohibition by halima james mdee 18 others and in the matter of the decision of chadema expelling the applicants from being members of ch

The Governing Council of CHADEMA contravened the impartiality principle by allowing members who participated in the initial expulsion decision to sit on appeal, violating natural justice. Although applicants were afforded the opportunity to be heard before the Central Committee, they failed to utilize it. The appeal to the Governing Council constituted a demand for performance, which was refused. The writs of Certiorari and Mandamus are granted; Prohibition is not grantable as the decision was already made.

The applicants demonstrated sufficient interest, an arguable case, and promptness in filing after exhaustion of internal remedies. CHADEMA's decisions, though by a private entity, were public in nature and thus amenable to judicial review. No adequate alternative remedy existed. Leave to apply for prerogative orders was therefore granted.
