NTASHAMAJE NA BAGENZI BE v. BPR Ltd
The Supreme Court held that members of an unincorporated association have standing to sue individually for damages when the association cannot sue and the loss affects them. BPR Ltd's seizure of the association's property deprived members of the opportunity to benefit from the association's activities, justifying partial damages for loss of opportunity, not full lost profits. The damages awarded by the lower court were appropriate, with a minor adjustment for legal costs.
