NSENGUMUREMYI v BRALIRWA Plc
BRALIRWA Plc, as the complainant, did not make the decision to detain Nsengumuremyi John; that decision was made by investigative and prosecutorial authorities in the exercise of their statutory powers. There is no evidence that BRALIRWA Plc acted maliciously or outside its legal rights in reporting the suspected crime. Therefore, BRALIRWA Plc cannot be held liable for damages arising from the detention of Nsengumuremyi John.
