IMIRONGO - CoA - No 22 December 2024
The Court of Appeal established that convictions cannot be based on acts not charged in the indictment, procedural requirements for auctions and appeals are strictly statutory, sentence reductions require unequivocal guilty pleas before first instance closure, and the burden of proof and admissibility of evidence are governed by clear legal standards. Precedents are not binding if the underlying law has changed. Second appeals depend on the value or damages awarded in the prior judgment.
