TWAGIRAMUNGU v SEBISHYIMBO
The alleged sale of the land from Sebishyimbo Etienne to Baranyeretse Adela was not valid because it was not executed before a notary as required by law. Therefore, at the time of the auction, the property was still legally owned by Sebishyimbo Etienne and subject to execution. The auction process complied with all legal requirements, including seizure and valuation. Thus, the auction remains valid and the claims of Baranyeretse Adela are dismissed.
