Tanzania Case Law

LAND APPEAL NO

Court

TANZLII

An appeal against a consent decree is statutorily barred by section 70(3) of the Civil Procedure Code. Allegations of fraud or misrepresentation do not create an exception; the proper remedy is a fresh suit. The DLHT acted within its mandate as an executing tribunal and could not set aside the consent decree. The alleged forgery of the second appellant's signature cannot be determined as a pure point of law without evidence.
