Go back to your Legal Method Lessons and revisit your Lectures on Court 
System and Court Structure in Tanzania. Remember that Tanzania is a 
Union of two Sovereign Countries: Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Two 
Constitutions and Legal System operate concurrently in Tanzania. There

of Zanzibar, 1984.

of law that comes from that decision. The holding can be defined as the 
judgment plus the material facts of the case. Holding must include the 
Court’s decision as to the question that was actually before the court.
