patricia mpangala and another vs vicent kd lyimo 2023 tzca 159 29 march 2023
The appellants' title to the disputed land was invalid as it was granted when a prior title to Abisai Issawangu subsisted; the respondent's title, based on the priority principle, prevails; procedural objections to the respondent's status as guardian were waived by withdrawal and are not substantive; the existence of two certificates of title in the respondent's name does not create competing interests as both relate to the same offeree after verification.
