Makindye Sabagabo Municipal Council v Busenvi Enterprises Limited (Miscellaneous Application 475 of 2022) [2025] UGHCCD 99 (16 July 2025)
The court found that the Special Conditions of the Contract expressly excluded arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism, providing instead for amicable settlement followed by recourse to the courts if necessary. The SCC superseded the General Conditions, rendering the arbitration clause inoperative and incapable of being performed. Both parties, by participating in mediation and entering a consent judgment, had submitted to the court's jurisdiction and were estopped from invoking the arbitration clause. The court held that the chain to arbitration was broken and that it retained jurisdic…

Lutembe Edward Ntege v Mukiibi Katamba Fred and Commissioner Land Registration (Civil Suit No. 1 of 2023) [2025] UGHC 534 (16 July 2025)
The court found that the suit land, Mawokota Block 162 Plot 13, forms part of the estate of the late Sulaimani Ntege, based on uncontroverted documentary and oral evidence, prior judgments, and physical possession by the Plaintiff and his family. The 1st Defendant's registration was procured through fraud, with full knowledge of the estate's interests and without due diligence. The Defendant's absence from proceedings and lack of recognition by local authorities further undermined his claim. The fraudulent registration constituted trespass, interfering with the Plaintiff's legal possession as…

Bulayi Geofrey and Kantinti Edward Mbazira v Patrick James Batanda and Others (Miscellaneous Application No. 3187 of 2024) [2025] UGHCLD 144 (15 July 2025)
The application for review is procedurally untenable because the suit from which it arises was abated for failure to extract summons for directions as required by the Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2019. The law is clear that once a suit abates, the only remedy available to the aggrieved party is to file a fresh suit, subject to the law of limitation. The applicants' attempt to revive the abated suit by way of review is contrary to established legal principles and precedents, including Kalemera Sam Wilson vs Kaggwa Christopher Chris and Abdul Ddamulira vs Mss Xsabo Power Limited. The appli…

Christine Namayanja v Administrator General and Others (Civil Suit No. 534 of 2016) [2025] UGHCLD 138 (15 July 2025)
The High Court held that the 2nd defendant fraudulently transferred and subdivided the plaintiff’s land, but recognized the 4th defendant as a bona fide purchaser for specific plots.
Mss Xsabo Power Ltd v Uganda Registration Services Bureau & Registrar General/ Official Receiver (Miscellaneous Cause 4 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 550 (15 July 2025)
The court found that the Registrar General acted ultra vires in recalling the Assistant Registrar's ruling in Company Petition No. 5 of 2020, as Section 258(4) of the Companies Act does not confer such power. The functus officio doctrine applied, preventing the Registrar General from revisiting or nullifying the Assistant Registrar's decision once delivered. The process leading to the second ruling was illegal, irrational, and procedurally improper, particularly as it was delivered during the pendency of an injunctive order maintaining the status quo and without proper notification or hearing…

Wakamala Alex & Mwandha Jamilu v Uganda (Criminal Revision 13 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCRD 26 (15 July 2025)
The High Court found that the magistrate's order of 5th April 2024, which banned audio and video recording of proceedings but allowed verified media to attend and report in print, was made in good faith for the effective management of the trial and to prevent breaches of the sub judice rule. The court held that the applicants' delay of nearly ten months in challenging the order was inexcusable, as significant evidence had already been adduced under the order's operation. Allowing the application would create inconsistency and prejudice witnesses who testified under the restriction. The court…
