Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Final Appellate Judgment

  1. 1 Whether the sale agreement of 02/03/2018 between Mukeza Keza Melissa and Landmark Ltd was valid
  2. 2 Whether the High Commercial Court erred in ordering Landmark Ltd to pay Mukeza Keza Melissa 229,000,000 Frw
  3. 3 Whether the High Commercial Court erred in removing the caveat placed by Mukeza Cameron on the property

Ratio Decidendi

The property was validly donated to Mukeza Keza Melissa by the shareholders of Shalem Hotels Ltd through a properly executed and notarized resolution, making her the sole owner. The subsequent sale to Landmark Ltd was valid, as all legal requirements were met. The prior contract between Shalem Hotels Ltd and Landmark Ltd was void as Shalem Hotels Ltd no longer owned the property. The caveat placed by Mukeza Cameron was baseless and properly removed. Advocate fees and litigation costs were justified but reduced for reasonableness.

Court Disposition

appeal dismissed

Orders

  • The appeal by Mukeza Cameron is dismissed as unfounded.
  • The previous High Commercial Court judgment stands unchanged.
