Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) and Its Importance for the Civil Justice System in Tanzania

Increasingly, courts are setting new behavioral standards for litigants, potential litigants and their representatives. The Tanzania Arbitration Act 2020, has amended provisions of the Civil Procedure Code, R.E 2002 Cap 33 (CPC) by adding a new section 10A to require litigants in civil actions to take “bona fide steps to resolve disputes” and consider the use of, an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process “at an appropriate stage in the litigation”. The pertinent options are negotiation, conciliation, mediation or arbitration or similar alternative procedure, before proceeding for trial . In addition, the legislation has coincided with significant shifts in terms of judicial understanding to act in a “reasonable manner” that have been imposed upon those engaged in litigation.
