UJENGE RWANDA LTD N’ABANDI v. ECOBANK RWANDA PLC N’ABANDI

There is no contradiction between the judgments because the parties and subject matter are not identical, and the judgments can be executed concurrently. The applicants' claim lacks merit, and they are liable for costs to the respondents for unnecessary litigation.

TWAGIRAYEZU N’ABANDI v. BANKI Y’ABATURAGE Y’U RWANDA (BPR)_180833_kn

The Supreme Court held that the sale of plot No. 400 to Twagirayezu and Mukantabana was complete and effective upon agreement on the subject matter and price, regardless of the lack of formal transfer documents at the time. Therefore, Rushirabwoba had no right to mortgage the property to BPR, and the mortgage was invalid. BPR was ordered to release the title documents and register the property in the applicants' names. Damages were awarded for legal costs only.
