The Dakar appeals court has ruled in favour of Khady Niass, daughter of the religious dignitary Ahmed Khalifa Niass, in a land dispute that opposed her to Jamal Saleh and others. According to Walf Quotidien, the decision brings an end to a proceeding of more than ten years.
The court annulled the sale of usage rights made on 28 March 2003 by Jamal and Hassan Saleh to Ghazy Mohamed Saleh and Ahlame Saleh, a deed received by Me Hajarat Aminata Guèye, notary. It ordered the Dakar-Liberté land registry officer to cancel this usage right, upheld the first-instance ruling for the remainder and ordered the Saleh family to pay the costs, according to a note from Me Mbaye Dieng, lawyer for Khady Niass, sent to his client.
The court ruled publicly, adversarially and in last resort in civil matters. It declared the procedure regular, relying on the closing order of the judge in charge of preparing the case of 12 October 2026, and partially overturned the judgment under appeal.
