Tanzania Case Law

DANKEY JUDGMENT Final

Court

TANZLII

The second respondent had good title and capacity to transfer the disputed property, as the sale was consented and witnessed by family members, and no dispute exists among them. The appellant failed to prove prior ownership or occupation. The first respondent is a bonafide purchaser whose rights are protected. Non-joinder of family members did not affect the substance of the suit.
