This appeal originates from the decision of the High Court, where the Respondent sued the Appellant for breach of contract. The dispute between the parties revolved around the fact that, the Appellant covenanted to supply to the Respondent 1500 metric tons of cotton seeds. The Respondent paid TZS 915,000,000.00 into the Appellant’s bank account. The contractual period was to expire before November, 2015. Despite the Respondent fulfilling her part of the bargain by paying the agreed amount, the Appellant did not fully supply the cotton seeds as contracted. This is because at the end of the contractual period, the Appellant had only supplied 664,265 kilograms leaving a balance of 835,735 kilograms worth TZS 509,798,350.00. Despite several demands, the Appellant did not make good his promise. The Appellant contended that, the claim alleged by the Respondent was baseless as she was the one who breached the agreement and that the balance of Tshs. 509,789,350/= was exaggerated. The High Court decided in favour of the Respondent. Aggrieved by the decision of the Court, hence, this appeal.
