Ssembusi Matia v Kato Dungu Lennox Protese (Miscellaneous Cause No. 10 of 2025) [2025] UGHC 572 (18 July 2025)
The Respondent failed to demonstrate any caveatable interest in the suit land and did not respond to statutory notices or court process. The Applicant's evidence, including proof of purchase, registration, and unencumbered title, remained unchallenged. The caveat was lodged without lawful or reasonable cause, and the Respondent's refusal to participate in proceedings further justified its removal. The Applicant suffered inconvenience and prejudice due to the caveat, warranting an award of general damages. The court exercised its discretion under the Registration of Titles Act and Civil Proced…

Jjingo Samuel Bagenzekukola v Norah Nakubulwa and John Kalungi Kalule (Civil Appeal No. 681 of 2023) [2025] UGCA 238 (18 July 2025)
The Court of Appeal found that the appellant failed to prove lawful ownership of the suit land on the balance of probabilities. The gift deed relied upon by the appellant named a different individual as the donee, and the evidence presented did not credibly establish that the appellant was the intended recipient. The chain of custody for the gift deed was broken, and the stepmother who allegedly provided the document did not testify. The expert evidence was discounted due to reliance on unproven documents (a cheque and a WILL), and the presumption of authenticity under Section 90 of the Evide…

Ddamulira v Statewide Insurance Company Limited and Another (Miscellaneous Application 853 of 2025) [2025] UGHCLD 141 (17 July 2025)
The court found that the applicant had satisfied all three conditions required for the grant of an interim stay of execution: a competent notice of appeal was lodged, a substantive application for stay was pending, and there was a real and imminent threat of execution evidenced by removal of caveats, transfer of the suit land, and a pending taxation application. The court exercised its discretion judiciously, noting that the execution process had commenced and that denying the interim stay would render the appeal nugatory and potentially cause irreparable loss to the applicant. Accordingly, t…

Ggingo Kityo Muguluma and Another v Nagayi Florence and Others (Miscellaneous Application No. 4032 of 2025) [2025] UGHCFD 66 (17 July 2025)
The court found that the applicants had demonstrated sufficient cause for the delay in filing the inventory and final account, primarily due to lack of access to the land title and unresolved estate matters beyond their control. The court held that the law allows for extension of time and extension of the grant of letters of administration where justified. The applicants' reasons were not due to negligence or inaction, and all beneficiaries had consented to the application. The court emphasized that the estate would be left without legal representatives if the grant was not extended, which wo…

Gibb (PTY) Limited in Joint Venture with Acmirs consulting Limited v Ministry of Works and Transport and Another (Application No. 16 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 19 (17 July 2025)
The Tribunal found that the Respondents erred in law by disqualifying the Applicant's bid for non-submission of registered joint venture powers of attorney, as such eligibility documents, if valid at the bid submission deadline, should have been requested through clarification in accordance with the procurement regulations. The Tribunal also determined that there was no mandatory requirement in the bidding documents for submission of tax clearance certificates at the time of bid submission; eligibility declarations in the technical proposal sufficed. The Respondents' failure to apply the corr…
