KAYITESI vs RUBANGURA DENIS N’UNDI

The Court of Appeal held that Kayitesi Immaculée, as a widow with children, was subject to the 1/5 limitation on gifts from her estate under Article 49 of Law N°27/2016. She failed to prove that the gift to IKAY INC Ltd did not exceed this limit, and thus the High Court did not err in annulling the gift. The compensation and costs awarded by the High Court were appropriate, and no party was entitled to further compensation or costs at this appellate level.
