Administrative law Paschal Shitunga Ruling

Paschal Shitunga Ruling

Court
TANZLII

The applicant failed to account for most of the delay, and ignorance of law is not a sufficient reason. However, the inclusion of a new charge (participation in political activities) by the appellate authority, which was not part of the original charges and on which the applicant was not heard, constitutes an apparent illegality on the face of the record. This illegality is sufficient ground to grant extension of time to apply for leave for judicial review.
