UBUSHINJACYAHA v. HABYARIMANA
The second appeal was inadmissible because the alleged errors related to non-compliance with legal provisions, not the application of a non-existent law. Such errors do not justify a second appeal under Rwandan law. The lower courts applied the law in force at the time of the offence, and any procedural irregularities should be addressed through other legal remedies, not a second appeal.
