Re MUKANKUNDIYE N’UNDI

Court
Supreme Court
Case number
RS/RECT/RC00001/2024/SC

The Supreme Court found that the previous judgment lacked clarity regarding the total area and identification of the land to be inherited, which created ambiguity and hindered execution. It is necessary to clarify that the total land to be divided among the heirs is 17,022.047925 square meters, as identified by the National Land Authority, and listed by UPI numbers.

DEDERI v NIWEMUGENI N’UNDI

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RCAA00026/2022/CA

The appeal was not validly filed because the grounds for appeal were submitted after the statutory one-month deadline. The appellant failed to provide evidence of IECMS system failure to justify the delay. Procedural deadlines are mandatory and their violation is a jurisdictional bar to hearing the appeal.
