The court found that the applicant satisfied all requirements for an exparte interim injunction: there is a pending substantive application scheduled for hearing, the matter is urgent as the delegates conference is imminent, and there is a real threat that cannot be eliminated by an expeditious hearing. The applicant acted in good faith and without delay. Exceptional circumstances exist, justifying the grant of an exparte interim order to restrain the respondents from convening the delegates conference until the main application is heard. The order is limited to three days to preserve the sta…

Katsinde George and Another v Rubarekyera George and Others (Civil Application No. 184 of 2025) [2025] UGCA 246 (23 July 2025)
The court found that the applicants had complied with procedural requirements by first seeking a stay in the High Court. The appeal raised serious and arguable questions of law and fact, including fraud, principles of bonafide purchase, powers of the commissioner for land registration, and the quantum of damages. The applicants demonstrated that they would suffer irreparable harm if evicted, as the land is their home and sole source of livelihood, and the harm could not be adequately compensated by damages. The balance of convenience favored the applicants, who would suffer most if the applic…

Mugasa Grace Adyeeri v Commissioner Land Registration (Civil Appeal No. 710 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 240 (21 July 2025)
The Court of Appeal found that the complaint before the Commissioner Land Registration was based on allegations of fraud against Mayombwe Muhamudu in the acquisition and transfer of the suit land. According to established legal principles, the Registrar of Titles does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate matters involving fraud; such matters must be determined by the High Court where evidence can be properly tested. The Registrar's cancellation of the Appellant's title, without providing adequate reasons and without a complaint specifically against her title, was procedurally improper and viol…

Okitela Joseph v Opoli Patrick (Civil Appeal No.14O of 2013) [2025] UGCA 245 (21 July 2025)
Second appeal struck out as incompetent because the grounds were vague and factual, contrary to the rules and limits on second appeals.
Apollo Bright Bweyakye and Others v Professor Sam Tulya-Muhika (Civil Application 239 of 2023) [2025] UGCA 234 (18 July 2025)
The Court of Appeal held that the respondent's affidavit in reply was competent, as the deponent was not in personal conduct of the case and was privy to relevant facts, and a valid practicing certificate was on record. The court found that the application disclosed serious questions of law and fact, particularly regarding the propriety of the Notice of Appeal and the extension of time, which merited consideration by the Supreme Court. The court emphasized that it was not the forum to reassess the merits of the underlying appeal but to determine whether the intended appeal was arguable and no…
