Court

TANZLII

The sublease was invalid for lack of written consent from the lessor as required by law; the outstanding rent is to be calculated at the contractual rate from 1st November 2021, not at the market rate; procedural irregularities did not vitiate the proceedings; removal of goods and final orders were proper as temporary injunctions do not preclude final relief.
