REQUEST FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FRESH EVIDENCE
In its Response, the Respondent referred to its letter dated 13 December 2013
indicating, according to it, that the collection of evidence would take some time , and
therefore craved the indulgence and leave of the Court to adduce fresh evidence when
the latter would be available.

16. Furthermore, at the Public Hearing of 22 May 2015, each of the parties, pursuant to
Rule 50 of the Rules of Court, sought leave of the Court to submit fresh documents
essentially comprising the evidence on the case before the national courts . To justify the
delay, the two parties invoked mainly the difficulties faced in seeking for and finding the
said documents given the fact that the Registry of the District Court of Moshi had
meanwhile been relocated elsewhere. Each of the parties also indicated that it had no
objection to the other's request in this regard .

Rule 50 of the Rules of Court provides that:
"No party may file additional evidence after the closure of pleadings except by leave of Court".
