Tanzania Case Law

CIVIL NO 89 OF 2024 sinda

Court

TANZLII

The probate court was correct to exclude the Ubungo property from the deceased's estate as there was no evidence it was registered in the deceased's name. The trial court did not usurp the jurisdiction of the land court by making this determination based on title evidence. Procedural errors in filing and affidavit defects did not prejudice the parties or affect the outcome.
