LETA Y’U RWANDA (MINADEF) vs. ALPHA PALACE Ltd
The Court of Appeal held that fair compensation in public interest expropriation must be based on the market value as determined by a balanced assessment of all expert reports, giving weight to the court-appointed experts’ report when neither party successfully challenges it. The government’s appeal was dismissed as it failed to show that the lower court erred in its valuation or in awarding costs and expert fees.
