UWANTEGE v. NIYONSHUTI N’ABANDI

The appeal by Uwantege Louise was filed outside the three-working-day period mandated by Article 188 of Law No 22/2018 for expedited claims, which is a special rule overriding the general calculation in Article 275. Consequently, the appeal is without merit. The cross-appeal by Nizeyimana Venant is inadmissible since the principal appeal was not received. Respondents are entitled to attorney fees and costs as the applicant's appeal was unsuccessful.

GATAMA N’ABANDI v. METCORP Ltd

The appeal was inadmissible because the applicants had already lost on the same grounds in two lower courts, and the exclusivity clause did not relieve them from the obligation to repay the loan.
