BUSORO v. BUSORO N’ABANDI

The Supreme Court found Busoro Gervais was the sole owner of the property, the registration and sale by his son was fraudulent, and the buyers acted in good faith but must return the property. The buyers are entitled to a refund of the purchase price from Busoro Mugunga Désiré. No compensation is due for alleged improvements as there was no evidence. The procedural objections to review for injustice were dismissed as unfounded.
