This application originates from the suit filed in the
District Court of Ilala. That suit was later transferred to the Dar es Salaam
Regional Housing Tribunal which consequently adjudicated upon it. After the
adjudication, the Tribunal, due to some procedural irregularities, ruled that
the matter be remitted to the Regional Housing Tribunal of Dar es Salaam for
re-adjudication. The decision of the Appeals Tribunal irked the Respondent.
Then appealed to the High Court. The appeal was struck out for want of
jurisdiction. Later on, the Respondent filed in this Court a Notice of Appeal
against the decision of the Court and had successfully applied for and obtained
in the High Court the requisite leave to appeal to this Court. Now, the
applicant is seeking an order of the Court to strike out the Notice of Appeal
filed by the Respondent for the reason that essential steps have not been taken
to prosecute the appeal ever since the notice was lodged.
