Lukaaga v Nabirinzi & 2 Others (Company Application 36863 of 2024)

Lukaaga v Nabirinzi & 2 Others (Company Application 36863 of 2024) [2025] UGRSB 2 (6 January 2025)

The court found that the transfer of two shares from Rosemary Mullo to Billy Cosmas Mullo was procedurally defective due to the absence of a board resolution, as required by Article 11 of the company's Articles of Association. Consequently, the transfer form for these two shares must be expunged, and the shares transmitted to the applicant as the personal representative of the deceased. However, the transfer of eighteen shares was supported by a valid resolution and transfer form, and the applicant failed to discharge the burden of proof that this transfer was fraudulent or irregular. The cou…

The applicant failed to demonstrate sufficient and direct interest in the affairs of the 1st Respondent Company as required for locus standi under Regulation 20(f) of the Companies (Powers of the Registrar) Regulations, 2016.

Uganda Moslem Supreme Council v Yudaya & 2 Others & Ssewante v Yudaya & 3 Others (Miscellaneous Application 536 of 2024; Miscellaneous Application 541 of 2024; Miscellaneous Application 549 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 2 (3 January 2025)

The High Court determined that it had jurisdiction to hear and determine the consolidated applications, including the application for review. However, the existence of a valid arbitration clause in article 28 of the UMSC constitution, which mandates that disputes concerning the management and affairs of the UMSC be resolved by the Muslim Arbitration and Conciliation Council (MAC), was not considered in the original judgment. This omission constituted an error apparent on the face of the record. The court found that the parties should have been referred to the MAC for resolution of their dispu…

Kyaligonza v Mugabe and Others (MISC. CIVIL APPEAL NO. 07 OF 2022)

Kyaligonza v Mugabe and Others (MISC. CIVIL APPEAL NO. 07 OF 2022) [2025] UGHC 238 (3 January 2025)

The Assistant Registrar lacked jurisdiction to entertain and grant the main application for stay of execution of a decree passed by a judge, as such authority is reserved for the judge who delivered the judgment under O.43 r.4(2) CPR. The ruling and orders issued by the Registrar in Misc. Application No.53 of 2020 are null and void and must be set aside. There is no evidence of a pending appeal against the decision in HCCS No.28 of 2009, as the notice of appeal was filed out of time and no memorandum of appeal was lodged. The application was not proven to have been served out of time, as the…

Gasasira v Bataringaya

Gasasira v Bataringaya (Civil Application 68 of 2025) [2025] UGCA 94 (1 January 2025)

The Court of Appeal found that the application for stay of execution was properly before it, as the High Court had imposed harsh and unconscionable conditions for stay, effectively denying the applicant relief and threatening to render the pending appeal nugatory. The applicant satisfied all four conditions for grant of stay: a valid notice of appeal was filed and served; the appeal raised arguable questions of law and fact, not being frivolous; there was an imminent threat of execution that could result in irreparable loss and render the appeal nugatory; and the application was filed promptl…
