RADIANT INSURANCE COMPANY Ltd v GATABAZI
Gatabazi Pierre was entitled to compensation for loss of employment because he proved he was a motorcycle taxi operator at the time of the accident, supported by documentation. The calculation of lost earnings must be based on the average daily income of motorcycle taxi operators (6,444 Frw), not the statutory minimum wage, as established by Supreme Court precedent. Legal costs and attorney fees were justified and awarded.
