Analysing the Legal Development of the Case Management System in the High Court of Tanzania

Abstract This article traces the legal development of case management as applied in the High Court of Tanzania for the timely justice dispensation. To make it easier for the readers, the authors of this article employed a doctrinal approach by carrying out a systematic documentary review, including the constitution, legislation, reports, and case laws. This review aimed to provide a thorough historical perspective of the development of the case management system in the High Court of Tanzania. The findings reveal that Tanzania introduced a case management system to address the inefficiency of justice in the court system. Furthermore, timely dispensation of justice is the constitutional essence of the existence of the Judiciary of Tanzania. However, even with the introduction of the case management system, the need for the timely justice dispensation in the court of law has not been satisfactorily achieved.
