Kevin Nyambo vs. Mwanabibi Ngonyani (Misc. Civil Application No. 23694 of 2024) [2025] TZHC 745 (12 March 2025)
Applicant’s illness did not satisfactorily account for a 25-day delay; extension to appeal was refused with costs.
Civil procedure – extension of time – applicant must show good and sufficient cause; each day of delay must be accounted for (Hassan Bushiri principle). Illness as ground for extension – medical treatment period may be excluded, but claimant must provide consistent evidence of recovery dates and explain remaining delay. Computation of delay – statutory appeal period runs from date of judgment; exclusion applies only to period of incapacity.
