mafia island diving limited vs marine park lodge limited another 2024 tzhclandd 73 29 february 2024

The applicant established all three conditions for grant of a temporary injunction: there is a serious triable issue regarding ownership and tenancy of the suit premises; the applicant stands to suffer irreparable loss, including loss of business and developments, if the injunction is not granted; and the balance of convenience favors the applicant as the loss to the applicant outweighs any inconvenience to the respondents. The defect in the respondents' counter affidavit is curable and not fatal.

poneka patrick mihayo alias patrick lutandula mihayo another vs crdb bank plc 2023 tzhclandd 17226 11 december 2023

All three conditions for granting a temporary injunction—existence of a triable issue, risk of irreparable injury, and balance of convenience—were established by the applicants. The dispute over the legality of the intended auction and the absence of a signed loan facility agreement constitute a serious issue to be tried.

hamisi omary mputo ta sawasawa store vs equity bank tanzania ltd another 2023 tzhclandd 16917 20 september 2023

The applicant established a prima facie case as there are triable issues regarding compliance with statutory procedures for sale of mortgaged property and the effect on the applicant's business. The court found that failure to grant the injunction would likely cause irreparable loss to the applicant, including business collapse, which cannot be adequately compensated by damages. The balance of convenience favors the applicant, as he stands to suffer greater hardship than the respondents if the injunction is withheld. All three conditions for granting a temporary injunction were satisfied.

  • Temporary injunction
  • Mortgage enforcement
  • Loan default
  • Irreparable injury
  • Balance of convenience
