SONARWA HOLDINGS Ltd remains a legally existing company as per the official register and thus has standing to sue. The claim was not procedurally defective as both parties were properly joined and participated. However, the prior judgment was superseded by a valid, enforceable settlement agreement between SONARWA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY Ltd (acting with authority from SONARWA HOLDINGS Ltd) and Muberangabo Titien, which extinguished any disputes arising from the execution of the judgment.
