MUREMANYUNDO v NYIRIMIHIGO

The Supreme Court held that both Law No. 22/99 (1999) and Organic Law No. 8/2005 (2005) applied. However, under Article 22 of Law No. 22/99, the right to challenge a sale of matrimonial property lapses after 5 years. Since Muremanyundo Jeanne filed her claim more than 14 years after the 2006 sale, her right to contest had expired, making the sale agreement irrevocable and valid.
