Tanzania Case Law

THE PERMANENT SECRETARY MINISTRY OF WATER IRRIGATION AND MEGA BUILDERS LTD MISC

Court

TANZLII

The court found there was an arbitration clause covering disputes, including termination, and both the Ministry and Attorney General participated fully in arbitration proceedings. No evidence of arbitrator misconduct or improper procurement was established. The omission to state the Attorney General as a party did not invalidate the proceedings, as he was actively involved throughout. The award was properly procured and the petitioner's grounds failed for lack of proof.
