MURENZI v MUTABAZI ET AL.
The Supreme Court held that the expert report's procedural defects were cured when the experts took oath before the High Court, and that the evidence established Murenzi's construction activities—specifically overloading the wall—caused the collapse. The applicant's failure to appeal on damages barred reconsideration of that issue. Liability for damages, expert fees, and costs was affirmed against Murenzi and Uwamahoro.
