NIYIBOGORA v DORISI ET AL
The Court found that Dorisi Melchiade and Hakizimana Sylvain knowingly created and used forged documents to transfer marital property, depriving Niyibogora Christine of her rights. However, since only the civil party appealed for damages and not the prosecution, no criminal penalties could be imposed. The notary, Naburugero Giramahoro Ajja, was acquitted as there was no evidence he knowingly facilitated the fraud.
