KOLD v NYIRAHABIMANA

The buyer (Nyirahabimana Emertha) failed to pay the full purchase price by the agreed date but paid over 93% of the price. The court, exercising its discretion, grants a one-month grace period to pay the outstanding balance with interest. If not paid within this period, the contract will be terminated, the property returned to the seller, and the buyer must pay rent from the date the termination claim was filed. Damages are awarded only to the extent justified and proportionate to the breach.
