TWAGIRAYEZU ET AL v. BANQUE POPULAIRE DU RWANDA (BPR)_180833_en

Court
Supreme Court
Case number
RS/REV/INJUST/CIV 0004/15/CS

The sale contract between Twagirayezu Thadée and Rushirabwoba Aimable was valid upon agreement on object and price, transferring ownership to the buyers even without delivery of title. Consequently, Rushirabwoba Aimable had no right to mortgage the property to BPR, rendering the mortgage contract invalid. The existence of conflicting final judgments on the same property justified review for injustice, and the applicants were entitled to registration of the property and counsel fees.
