Court

TZCA

The Court held that, although the general rule is that revision cannot be used as an alternative to appeal where an appeal lies, the present case presents arguably exceptional circumstances due to confusion in the execution process between the Deputy Registrar and the Judge. Therefore, the preliminary objection is dismissed and the matter should proceed to hearing.
