The Appellant appealed to the High Court against a decision
of the District Court which upheld the decision of the Urban Primary Court of
Ifakara which awarded the Respondent his claim of Tshs. 76,000/= being the
value of one bicycle found to have been hired until its return plus costs of
the suit. The Appellant complained that the Primary Court ought to have
believed the evidence of DW2, the Appellant’s young brother aged 10 years who
claimed to have hired the bicycle. The appellate court considered the ground
raised and also whether an appellate court can interfere with concurrent
findings of fact of lower courts
