Matter of Ngasa Nhabi v Republic of Tanzania

Abstract

The Court reiterates that parties to an application should pursue their case with diligence. Where they fail or implicitly or expressly indicate their lack of interest to do so, Rule 65 of the Rules empowers the Court to remove the application from its cause list. The Court may also strike out an application if in the circumstances, it is no longer justified to continue with the determination of the matter.
