Tanzania Case Law

Final Ruling Zawadi Maseke

Court

TANZLII

Objection proceedings under Order XXI Rule 57(1) CPC are available to non-parties alleging interest or possession in attached property. The applicants provided prima facie evidence of ownership and possession, sufficient for summary proceedings. 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.
