Civil law RLR V.3-2017

MUJAWIMANA N’ABANDI v. BANKI YA KIGALI Ltd (B.K)_302028_kn

The Supreme Court found that valid mortgage agreements existed between Nyagatare Théogène and Banki ya Kigali Ltd, but these were annulled because they were made without the required consent of the spouse and family members, in violation of applicable laws. The lack of registration did not affect validity between the parties but did affect enforceability against third parties. Compensation was awarded to the applicants for litigation costs.
