The Court of Appeal allowed UMUJYI WA KIGALI to withdraw its appeal and held that the dependent incidental appeals could not be examined.
The appeal partially succeeds: compensation is limited to the portion of land not already compensated by RSSB (2,075 m2), calculated at the current market rate (60,000 Frw/m2), plus statutory damages for expropriation delay. Consultancy fees are denied due to insufficient evidence and lack of causal link to the appellant's actions. Each party bears its own litigation costs.
