Deniza Hassan vs Ndobhewe Nyilambigwa (Land Appeal 47 of 2013) [2014] TZHCLandD 24 (19 November 2014) Failure to prove sickness and reliance on advocate’s negligence do not constitute good cause for extension of time; appeal dismissed. Civil procedure – extension of time – meaning of "good and sufficient cause" – sickness must be proved by credible evidence (medical certificates) to be reasonably believable. Civil procedure – defective affidavit – omission of deponent's name renders affidavit invalid and application liable to be struck out. Civil procedure – solicitor/advocate negligence – party vicariously liable; advocate's negligence not a basis for extension of time. Limitation law – prevention of open-ended delays; standard of proof for extension is reasonable belief, not beyond reasonable doubt.	19 November 2014
