IMIRONGO CoA - No 18 - May - 2024

The Court of Appeal held that in reciprocal contracts, neither party can compel the other to perform if it has not itself performed its obligations. Since MELOHOLDINGS Ltd had already signed the fourth amendment and UMUJYI WA KIGALI refused to sign and instead prepared a new amendment, the latter's conduct constituted obstruction. Therefore, MELOHOLDINGS Ltd was not required to sign again, and UMUJYI WA KIGALI's termination of the contract was unlawful. The court affirmed the lower courts' awards for delivered goods and expected profits on the remaining part of the contract.
