Commercial law RCOMAA 00053/2024/CA

ENTREPRISE D’ADDUCTION D’EAU ET DE CONSTRUCTION v AKARERE KA GATSIBO

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RCOMAA 00053/2024/CA

EADECO failed to complete the contracted works within the agreed period, with only 34% of the works completed by the contractual deadline and 50% after additional time. The delays were attributable to EADECO, not to the respondent's conduct. The evidence provided by EADECO for compensation claims was insufficient and not independently verified. The contract and law entitled Akarere ka Gatsibo to terminate the contract for delay. Therefore, the appeal lacked merit and was dismissed.
