High Court revises a land execution ruling, holding that the applicant owes only the unpaid balance of a consent decree and that indefinite civil imprisonment was unlawful.
The High Court’s Land Division held the defendant breached a sale agreement for a residential licence but ordered only a refund of TZS 50,000,000; the third party was exonerated.
The High Court dismissed an application for stay of execution pending appeal, holding that the applicant failed to prove substantial loss and did not offer security.
The applicant established a prima facie case due to disputed indebtedness and alleged statutory non-compliance in the auction process. The applicant demonstrated likelihood of irreparable harm through loss of business and reputation, and the balance of convenience favored the applicant as the respondents had alternative legal remedies. Therefore, the conditions for a temporary injunction were met.

The priority principle is not determinative in execution proceedings; the main inquiry is whether the property belongs to the judgment debtor. The applicants' properties are to be excluded from execution.

The supporting affidavit contained material falsehoods regarding the date of awareness, making it unsafe and incompetent to support the application. Without a valid affidavit, the application is incompetent and must be struck out.
