Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants, as beneficiaries of the late James Mutererwa Kunyarimwe's estate, claimed they had a right of first refusal over a property in the estate. The first respondent, as executor, sold the property to the third and fourth respondents without offering it to the applicants first, allegedly breaching their right of first refusal.
