LETA Y’U RWANDA (MINADEF) vs. ALPHA PALACE Ltd

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RADAA 00003/2023/CA

The Court of Appeal held that fair compensation in expropriation cases must be based on the market value of the property at the time of compensation, as determined by a balanced assessment of all expert reports. The court found no error in the High Court's reliance on the respondent's valuation for the land and MINADEF's valuation for the building, and upheld the award of costs and legal fees due to MINADEF's conduct and the lack of merit in its appeal.

LETA Y’U RWANDA (MINADEF) vs. ALPHA PALACE Ltd

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RADAA 00003/2023/CA

The Court of Appeal held that fair compensation in public interest expropriation must be based on the market value as determined by a balanced assessment of all expert reports, giving weight to the court-appointed experts’ report when neither party successfully challenges it. The government’s appeal was dismissed as it failed to show that the lower court erred in its valuation or in awarding costs and expert fees.

Compensation for expropriation must be calculated based on the current market value and designated use of the property at the time of valuation, not the original purchase price or intended use by the owner. Delay damages are not awarded unless previously litigated. Legal costs and advocate fees are not awarded where both parties partially succeed and fail.
