The 2nd Respondent had instructed the Appellant to conduct or represent him in a claim he had against Attorney General and the Inspector General of Police for loss suffered when his motor vehicle was impounded by the Traffic Police in Dodoma, and was returned to him in a dilapidated state. It was alleged that after issuing the instructions, the Appellant was expected to set the process in motion by appropriate preparations which included service of a 90-days’ notice to the Defendants but the Appellant failed to do so. The 2nd Respondent had to give a second set of documents for the issuance of notice. The complainant later learnt that the Appellant had been suspended from practice and was urged by the AG to withdraw his suit for lack of mandatory notice of intention to sue. The Appellant was convicted and sentenced by the Advocates Committee in respect of a complaint for misconduct by the 2nd Respondent. He was suspended from practicing for one year and ordered to pay the 2nd Respondent Tshs. 25,000,000/= He thus appealed against the Advocates’ Committee’s decision.
