The applicant was the plaintiff in Commercial Case No. 90 of 2011 in which she had sued the Respondents for failure to honour their obligations as guarantors in relation to a credit facility advanced by the applicant to one PATCO Enterprises (T) Limited. By a ruling of this court handed down on 11/09/2014, that suit was struck out with costs. Consequent upon that ruling, the Respondents filed a bill of costs totalling Tshs. 11,565,000/= which was taxed at Tshs. 2,305,889/=. An amount of Tshs. 9,259,111/= was taxed off. The applicant/judgment debtor was not happy with the decision of the Taxing Officer awarding that amount to the Respondents/decree holders. The complaint has been lodged in this court through this reference which has been taken under the provisions of Paragraph 7 (1) of the Advocates Remuneration Order, 2015 – GN No. 264 of 2015.
