Nalumenya Aaron v Sematimba Eric (Miscellaneous Cause 7 of 2025) [2025] UGHC 490 (8 July 2025)
The respondent failed to demonstrate a valid protectable interest in the suit land or to take timely legal action to substantiate his claim. The caveat was lodged but no ordinary suit was filed, and the respondent's inaction constitutes inordinate delay, contrary to equitable principles. The applicant, having purchased the land from the registered proprietor and possessing legal documentation, holds a legal interest protected by the principle of indefeasibility of title. The balance of convenience favors removal of the caveat, as its continued existence unjustifiably impedes the applicant's r…

The court exercised its discretion to grant a stay, noting that the purpose is to preserve the status quo and prevent the appeal from being rendere…

The court found that, although the Respondent raised a preliminary objection regarding its legal existence, employment law provides a broad definition of 'employer' that includes unincorporated associations and entities not formally registered. The evidence established an employment relationship between the Claimant and the Respondent, supported by a contract and consistent testimony. The Claimant was entitled to salary arrears for the period he demonstrably worked (December 2019 to September 2020), amounting to UGX 7,600,000 after accounting for payments received. The Respondent's objections…

Ssemiganda Henry v Omar Haniff and Others (Miscellaneous Application 207 of 2022) [2025] UGHC 511 (7 July 2025)
The court found that the applicant/objector lawfully purchased and took possession of the suit land in 2014, long before the attachment order was issued in 2017. The applicant provided documentary evidence of purchase and registration, and his possession was not challenged by the respondents, who failed to file any reply. The court held that in objector proceedings, the burden is on the objector to prove their interest and possession at the time of attachment, which the applicant did. Since the property was not in the possession of the judgment debtor at the time of attachment, and no evidenc…
