Land law Makaranga Final J

Makaranga Final J

Court
TANZLII

The Appellant failed to prove ownership of the disputed land to the required standard. The evidence established that the 1st Respondent inherited the land in question and had legal capacity to sell it. The tribunal complied with High Court orders, including visiting the locus in quo. The contracts of sale were valid as the 1st Respondent had authority to dispose of her inherited portion. The Appellant's claims were unsupported by credible evidence.
