Charles Wasswa Lugali Semakula v Amirali Karmali
Charles Wasswa Lugali Semakula v Amirali Karmali (Civil Appeal No. 95 of 2014) [2025] UGCA 171 (16 May 2025)
The Court of Appeal found that the Respondent lawfully acquired the suit property after proper repossession by Waljee (U) Ltd under the Expropriated Properties Act, as evidenced by a valid certificate of repossession. The Appellant's interest was not protected by law, as he failed to establish lawful occupation or consent from the registered owners, and his challenge to the repossession process was an afterthought not raised at trial. The removal of the Appellant's caveat was lawful, as the statutory notice was issued and the Appellant failed to act within the prescribed period, resulting in…

Geomax Engineering Limited and Others v HCB Financial Services Limited (Miscellaneous Application No. 2349 of 2024) [2025] UGCommC 93 (16 May 2025)
The court found that the applicants had raised genuine disputes regarding the amount borrowed, the nature of the agreement between the parties, and the interest rates charged. These contentions constitute triable issues of fact and law, particularly as to whether the respondent inflated the claim and whether the agreement was a deed of assignment or a money lending contract. The applicants also challenged the capacity in which the 2nd and 3rd applicants were sued and the unconscionability of the interest rates. Applying the principles under Order 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules and the author…

Nakato Rijcken Mubanda v Kajjansi Town Council and Wakiso District Local Government
Nakato Rijcken Mubanda v Kajjansi Town Council and Wakiso District Local Government (Civil Suits No. 628 of 2019) [2025] UGHC 332 (16 May 2025)
The court found that the plaintiff, while the registered proprietor, had herself widened the original footpath to a motorable road and opened it to public use, thereby dedicating it as a public right of way. The evidence showed the road had served the community for 17 years, and the plaintiff never took steps to prohibit public use. The defendants' entry was for statutory maintenance of an existing public road, not unlawful expansion or trespass. The destroyed crops, trees, and fence were within the road reserve, which by law is not compensable. The plaintiff's proprietary rights over the dis…

Kayondo Joseph Asimwe v Azaan Trading Co. Limited
Kayondo Joseph Asimwe v Azaan Trading Co. Limited (Miscellaneous Application 569 of 2022) [2025] UGCommC 111 (16 May 2025)
The court found that the affidavits in support of the application were competent, as they were sworn by individuals with direct knowledge of the circumstances leading to the non-appearance, namely the advocate and the clerk. The applicant was not in a position to depone the affidavit as he lacked direct knowledge of the miscommunication between counsel and the court. The court held that the applicant had demonstrated sufficient cause for non-appearance, as there was no evidence that the applicant or his counsel were notified of the hearing dates. The court emphasized that mistakes or lapses b…
