Paulo Lekamoi vs Mary Alice Chipungaheloo and Two Others (35 of 2011) [2013] TZHCLandD 2 (20 August 2013)
A vague decree failing to identify immovable property invalidates execution and requires reissuance and re-execution.
Civil Procedure — Order XX, Rule 9 — Decree must sufficiently describe immovable property to enable proper identification; vague decree renders execution void. Execution in excess of decree — nullity. Revision v. appeal — where execution affects a different parcel, revision is appropriate. Joinder — non-parties to original suit improperly joined in revision.

Noel Rodrick Ndegahe vs Nassoro Shauritanga (Misc. Land Case Appeal 41 of 2012) [2013] TZHCLandD 18 (12 August 2013)
Respondent proved ownership on the balance of probabilities; credibility findings and late non‑joinder claim did not succeed.
Land law – ownership dispute – proof on balance of probabilities – credibility of witnesses – appellate deference to credibility findings; procedural objection of non‑joinder raised first on appeal not fatal to respondent’s title.
