KARUMUHINZI BAUDOUX vs NYIRAKAZIGA

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RS/INJUST/RC 00007/2021/CA

The applicant failed to prove ownership of the disputed land or that the sale was fraudulent. The sale contract remains valid. Damages for distress cannot be considered as they were not raised in the original proceedings. Costs and attorney fees are awarded to the respondent in a reduced amount due to lack of substantiation for higher sums.

Karumuhizi v Nyirakaziga

Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
RS/INJUST/RC 00007/2021/CA

Karumuhinzi Baudoux Claire failed to prove with credible evidence that the disputed property belonged to her and not to Karumuhinzi Laura, who sold it to Nyirakaziga Kabeja Anne Marie. The sale was conducted before local authorities and the property was registered to the respondent. The applicant's claims for nullification, damages, and costs lack merit. The prior High Court judgment stands.
