Civil procedure CIVIL REVIEW NO

CIVIL REVIEW NO

Court
TANZLII

The court's prior order granting a Mareva injunction pending determination of a suit to be filed was an error apparent on the face of the record, as the court's jurisdiction was limited to granting an injunction only until the expiry of the 90 days' statutory notice. The order is rectified to restrain the applicants only until expiry of the statutory notice, not until determination of a suit yet to be instituted.

Court
TANZLII

A vacating order is synonymous with a review order; the court is not functus officio in this context, and the preliminary objection does not meet the criteria to be sustained as it touches on the merits of the application rather than a pure point of law.

Zawadi Samson Mayaya Another vs Masabi Chogabhuki 3 Others

Court
TANZLII

The application for review lacks merit because the applicants should have followed the proper procedure of suing the administrator of Said Luponya's estate rather than seeking review. The court's previous order is effective and contains no error warranting review.

Civil procedure 25

25

Court
TANZLII

The court held that the alleged illegality was in the Deputy Registrar's administrative Letter, not in a decree or order of the court, and thus did not suffice to grant extension of time. The Letter was not reviewable under Order XLII Rule 1 of the CPC, as it was not an order, judgment, or decree. Therefore, even if time was extended, the application for review would not be maintainable.

REV NO 25112 OF 2024 MCC LIMITED VRS BENSON KASALILE 0001

Court
TANZLII

The Deputy Registrar executed the decree as ordered by the Court, using the correct last salary figure and applying the computation as per the judgment; there was no error apparent on the face of the record, and the omission of the words 'as per the agreement' was a harmless slip that did not cause injustice.

NSSF RULING

Civil procedure Misc

Misc

Court
TANZLII

The applicants failed to provide legally sufficient evidence of ownership, as a residential permit does not equate to a certificate of title under Tanzanian law. Neither party proved ownership, and the dispute is properly determined by the land tribunal, not the probate court. The application for review is dismissed for lack of merit.

Civil procedure APPLICATION NO

APPLICATION NO

Court
TANZLII

The Registrar of Treasury was not a party to the original suit or subsequent applications; striking out the application for non-joinder was a legal misdirection; the order is reviewable and the application for restoration should be reinstated.
