That, the Plaintiff’s Claim against the defendant is Tshs—100,000,000/=, arising out of the defendant’s Act of trespass to land and carrying out quarrying activities.
That the Plaintiff in 2030 acquired a lease in a piece of land located at Melela, Mvomero district for ten years for the purposes of carrying out the quarrying business on the leased land.
That in November 2035 it was discovered that Defendant trespassed on the same leased land at Melela, Mvomero district, and was carrying out quarrying operations, excavating stone, gravel and murram for road construction without the knowledge of the land owner. The Defendant therefore trespassed to that land.
