The High Court of Rwanda allowed RWB’s appeal, holding that only 518,958 FRW was lawfully garnished and that 1,687,618 FRW for employee wages was not garnishable.
Kirehe District, forced to intervene at the appeal level, was entitled to have its appeal admitted. Only parties who applied for judgment review on grounds of injustice may make claims in such proceedings. The heirs of Gatashya Ezra, as successors to the vehicle owner who deliberately breached the insurance contract by overloading and using an unlicensed driver, are solely liable for the accident damages; Kirehe District is not bound by the insurance contract and bears no liability for the damages.
