Director Kahama Town Council & Another vs Vumilia Producers and Shopping Centre Co. Ltd (Misc. Land Aplication 15 of 2015) [2015] TZHCLandD 21 (21 September 2015)
Failure to cite the specific enabling sub‑section is fatal; application for revision struck out and costs awarded.
Civil procedure – competency of application – requirement to cite the specific enabling sub‑section of a statute – non‑citation fatal and goes to jurisdiction. Revision v appeal – application for revision incompetent where statutory requirements for moving the court are not met. Court’s inherent revisional powers – suo motu revision limited and cannot substitute for proper statutory citation when a party files for specific relief. Costs – general rule that costs follow the event.
