Re MADAMU BERNADETTE N’UNDI

Re MADAMU BERNADETTE N’UNDI

The Supreme Court found that the previous judgment RS/INJUST/RC 00010/2023/SC was ambiguous because it did not list all UPI numbers derived from the original property, making execution unclear. The Court clarified that all 30 UPI numbers identified in the land registry report must be included in the property to be returned to the Ruhabura succession.
