UWANYIRIGIRA N’ABANDI V SPECIAL GUARANTEE FUND

The investigation report relied upon by SGF was produced after the original judgment and thus does not qualify as new evidence under the law. Furthermore, its contents do not introduce any decisive new facts that would have changed the outcome of the original case. Therefore, the application for review is inadmissible. The applicants are entitled to a reasonable award of legal fees and litigation costs, but not in the amounts claimed.
