TWAGIRAYEZU N’ABANDI v TWAGIRAYEZU N’UNDI (ADD)

The High Court failed to provide its own reasoning and merely copied the first instance judgment verbatim without stating agreement or independent analysis. Therefore, the applicants were not dismissed on the same grounds in both courts, and the second appeal should have been admitted.

RUTABINGWA v RWOGERA

The parcel No. 2815 is owned by Rwogera Rutinywa, as evidenced by the purchase agreement in his name and lack of proof it was bought with family funds. The valuation of Rutabingwa Chrysante's buildings at 19,870,998 Frw, as determined by mutually agreed experts, is binding. Rutabingwa Chrysante built in good faith and is entitled to compensation for his improvements, but not to registration of the land or further damages.
