The High Court dismissed an application for mandamus and certiorari against the Tanganyika Law Society, finding no proven denial of access to documents and no impugned decision.
The Respondent State's actions of taking over and auctioning the UTC mall were illegal, violated Treaty principles of rule of law, accountability, transparency, and property rights, and are attributable to the State under international law. The Reference was not time-barred, the Applicant had locus standi, and the Respondent was properly sued. Restitution was impossible, so compensation and accountability for proceeds were ordered.
