Hildegard Vogt vs Venant Peter Mpunga (Misc Civil Appeal No. 1 of 2005) [2006] TZHC 273 (18 July 2006)
Appeal allowed: respondent was an employee, not a partner; trial award based on unreliable evidence and biased judgment set aside.
* Partnership law – express or implied partnership; requirement of clear intention and agreement; ownership shown by registration and conduct. * Evidence – reliability of handwritten/photocopied documents and calculations by unqualified/interested witnesses. * Employment law – indicators of employment (salary slips, NPF/NSSF, oral contract of service). * Appellate review – intervention warranted where findings of fact unsupported by evidence or inferences plainly wrong. * Judicial conduct – improper, prejudicial language may give rise to apparent bias.
