19991102 TZCA Dar es Salaam
The ruling was delivered on 21/11/1997, as evidenced by the court record, and not on 10/3/1998; therefore, the notices of appeal filed on 12th and 23rd March 1998 were out of time and must be struck out. Defects in the affidavit were not fatal to the application, and a Muslim deponent is not prohibited from swearing an oath if he chooses.
