MAZIMPAKA v MUKANEZA

The court found that Mazimpaka was criminally liable for assaulting Mukaneza, resulting in permanent injury. The damages awarded at first instance were based on judicial discretion and supported by the conviction. The appellate court found no error in the lower court's assessment of damages, except to adjust the attorney fees and costs in accordance with applicable regulations. The appeal by Mazimpaka lacked merit; the cross-appeal by Mukaneza was partially upheld regarding costs.
