The Appellant was aggrieved by the decision of the Resident Magistrate in the Resident Magistrates’ Court of Iringa, and filed an appeal to the High Court. He raised three grounds of appeal which are: that in view of the abundant evidence on record establishing trespass ab initio to the Appellants property by the Respondents’ servants and also false attribution of criminality upon the Appellant, the trial Magistrate erred in law when he failed to award general damages to the Appellant. That the trial Magistrate erred in law when he failed to award special damages which were specifically pleaded and proved by the Appellant. Three, that the suit before the lower court not being a suit against the Government, the trial Magistrate erred in law in holding that the Attorney General had the necessary locus standi to represent the Respondent in the matter before him.
