Chama Cha Kutetea Haki Na Maslahi Ya Walimu Tanzania (chakamwata) vs Registrar of Organisations (Labour Dispute 1 of 2021) [2022] TZHC 779 (14 March 2022)
An organisation may appeal a cancellation, but labour appeals against government departments require joinder of the Attorney General.
Administrative law – capacity to sue – cancellation of registration does not extinguish right to appeal. Civil procedure – meaning of "civil proceedings" – labour appeals constitute civil suits. Government Proceedings Act – requirement to join the Attorney General in civil proceedings against government departments; non-joinder vitiates proceedings.
