Alliance Finance Cooperation Limited & 2 Others vs Safari Denis Samson (Misc. Civil Application 22 of 2020) [2022] TZHC 1097 (4 January 2022) Court overruled objections: section 14 properly cited for extension; affidavit disclosure cured alleged hearsay. Limitation of actions – extension of time – section 14 Law of Limitation Act is the enabling provision; irrelevant statutory citations may be ignored. Affidavit law – hearsay – statements sourced from third parties admissible where source is disclosed in verification clause and deponent affirms belief in truth (Matovu). Preliminary objections – competence of application – failure to cite only relevant provisions is not necessarily fatal.	4 January 2022
Michael Mpeleta vs Edson Mwalugamba (Misc. Land Appeal 17 of 2021) [2022] TZHC 1121 (4 January 2022) Failure to give reasons for disagreeing with assessors under section 24 renders the tribunal's judgment a nullity and mandates rehearing. Land law – appellate procedure – assessors' opinions – requirement under section 24 to take into account assessors' views and to assign reasons when differing. Procedural irregularity – chairman indicating concurrence but deciding contrary without reasons – renders judgment a nullity. Remedy – quashing proceedings and remitting appeal for rehearing before different chairman and assessors. Costs – no costs where ground determined suo motu by the court.	4 January 2022
