The High Court struck out a review application as time-barred, holding it was filed after the 30-day limit and that filing time runs from payment of filing fees.
The applicant lacked locus standi to seek interim orders regarding assets owned by Reef Gold Limited, a separate corporate entity. Jurisdictional issues such as locus standi can be determined without formal pleadings, and the parties were fully heard. Clerical and editorial errors in the ruling were immaterial and did not affect substantive rights. No new evidence or fraud was established to justify review. The application for review was incompetent and demerited.

The applicant demonstrated sufficient cause for delay by acting diligently in pursuing a remedy in the wrong forum and promptly filing the present application after withdrawal, thus justifying extension of time.
Source excerpt
The High Court reviewed its earlier order, found an error on the face of the record, sustained the preliminary objection, and struck out the land application.
Applicant failed to advance sufficient cause for delay and misconceived the remedy; application for extension of time is struck out with costs.
Source excerpt
Applicant was not aware of the dismissal order until 17th March 2024; delay prior to that date cannot be imputed; presence of jurisdictional issue and alleged illegality in dismissal order after garnishee absolute was issued constitutes sufficient ground for extension of time; court grants extension to allow review application to address substantive issues.
Source excerpt
The alleged error is not self-evident and requires a long-drawn argument involving examination of statutes and case law; therefore, it does not qualify as an error apparent on the face of the record and cannot be grounds for review.
Source excerpt
The order striking out the application in Misc. Civil Application No. 18 of 2023 was final and conclusive as it disposed of the matter and deregistered it from the court register, with nothing pending for determination. Therefore, the preliminary objection lacks merit.
Source excerpt
The Court of Appeal of Tanzania dismissed an application for extension of time to seek review, holding that the applicant failed to account for delay and showed no reviewable illegality.
The High Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an application for review while a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeal is still in force and not withdrawn; therefore, the application is an abuse of court process and must be dismissed.
