Court

TANZLII

The Tribunal failed to follow the required procedure during the locus in quo visit, including not recording who testified, not allowing examination or clarification, and not reading out notes to the parties. This procedural irregularity rendered the proceedings defective, warranting the quashing and setting aside of the Tribunal's judgment and decree, and remitting the matter for proper procedure to be followed.
