Labour law MWANAHAWA OMARY HUSSEIN

MWANAHAWA OMARY HUSSEIN

Court
TANZLII

The arbitrator erred in dismissing the condonation application as time-barred because the application was filed within the period allowed for refiling the dispute after withdrawal. However, the application was incompetent as it did not conform to the withdrawal order, which required refiling the dispute, not seeking condonation. The applicants' procedural errors are excused in the interest of justice, and time to refile is extended.

Land law LAND CASE NO

LAND CASE NO

Court
TANZLII

The court held that it has jurisdiction as the claim is for rent arrears under a lease agreement, which falls within land matters. However, the plaint fails to specifically plead particulars of misrepresentation or fraud against the 2nd defendant, and the 2nd defendant appears to be wrongly joined. Rather than striking out the suit, the court directed the plaintiff to amend the plaint to cure these defects.
