former motor vehicle, which was being driven by first Defendant; an employee of
the second Defendant, knocked the latter. The plaintiff thereafter filed Civil
Case no 5 of 2007 in the District Court of Iringa claiming for, inter alia,
Tshs 7,506,666/70 being the value of the motor vehicle and Tshs 2,700,000/=

subsequent day up to the date of judgment. He lost the suit on the ground that
he is not the owner of the damaged car. Failure to complete the transfer made

that the Appellant was not entitled to anything.
