LETSHEGO RWANDA Ltd v. DUSABIMANA N’ UNDI

LETSHEGO RWANDA Ltd v. DUSABIMANA N’ UNDI

Letshego Rwanda Ltd failed to provide evidence that Dusabimana Emmanuel intended to dispose of or conceal the immovable property to avoid payment of the debt. The mere existence of a debt and a pending main suit is insufficient to justify interim opposition to mutation. Therefore, the appeal lacks merit and the lower court's decision is upheld.
