KOBIL PETROLEUM RWANDA v. MILIMO GASPARD

KOBIL PETROLEUM RWANDA v. MILIMO GASPARD

The court held that the summary procedure claim was admissible because deciding on the review's admissibility would interfere with the merits of the main case, which is not permitted. The court further held that the seizure of KOBIL's accounts, which prevented it from conducting its business and could cause considerable loss, justified suspending the execution of the judgment until the principal lawsuit is decided.
