TWIZERIMANA v MANIZABAYO

Only the notarized sale agreement between Manizabayo and Hafashimana is valid, as Rwandan law requires land sale contracts to be executed before a Notary for legal effect and registration. The prior private agreement between Twizerimana and Hafashimana is invalid for lack of required formality. Thus, Manizabayo is the lawful owner, and no damages are owed to either party.
