Ganya and Another v Twinomujuini (HCT-01-CV-LD-CS-28 OF 2023) [2025] UGHC 445 (19 June 2025)
The court found that the amended plaint did not amount to substitution or addition of parties without leave of court, as the original and amended plaints both indicated the plaintiffs' capacity as administrators of the estate.
