NYIRAHABIMANA v SANLAM A.G Plc
The appellant failed to provide legally sufficient evidence of dependency on the deceased, as required by law and Supreme Court precedent. Local authority certification alone is inadequate; no proof of disability, illness, or other special circumstance was provided. Therefore, the economic damages previously awarded to the appellant must be revoked.
