Mary Zawedde Mulira and Others v Commissioner for Land Registration and Others (Misc Cause No. 17 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCD 62 (11 April 2025)
The application was properly before the court as a judicial review against a public body. The Commissioner for Land Registration, having previously conducted a public hearing and re-registered the disputed land in the applicants' names in 2024, was functus officio and lacked jurisdiction to entertain a fresh application for a vesting order on the same title. The issuance of the memorandum of registration on 9th January 2025, vesting the land in Marwa Properties Limited, was procedurally improper and illegal, as the applicants were not accorded a hearing despite their direct interest. Section…

Kyamanywa & Others v Amama & Others (Civil Suit 4 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 287 (11 April 2025)
The court found that the plaintiffs proved they are the rightful administrators of the estate of Hermenegeldo Kalubanga, also known as Merizeldo. The 1st defendant fraudulently obtained letters of administration by misrepresenting himself as the son of the deceased and providing false information about the deceased's residence. The subsequent transfers of the suit land to the 1st and 2nd defendants were fraudulent, as the 2nd defendant failed to conduct adequate due diligence and ignored the presence of long-standing occupants. The 3rd defendant, Post Bank Uganda Ltd, did not exercise suffici…

Ruth Sebatindira SC v National Social Security Fund (Miscellaneous Application No. 98 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCD 65 (11 April 2025)
The court found that the administrator of UTL, in liquidation, is entitled to access information regarding employer contributions made to NSSF under UCECPS, including accrued interest and amounts paid out to former employees, as this information is necessary for her statutory duties to account for assets, reconcile financial affairs, and resolve claims. The Respondent's refusal to provide the information was unjustified, as the data pertains to UTL's own contributions and does not prejudice the data subjects. Data privacy concerns do not override the administrator's legal obligation to accoun…

Tony Kato v Trucker Line International Co. Limited (Misc. Application No. 321 of 2024) [2025] UGCommC 148 (11 April 2025)
The court found that the Applicant had not demonstrated sufficient cause for the delay in filing the taxation appeal. The Applicant was duly served by substituted service, failed to appear or defend, and subsequently made part payment towards the decretal sum and execution costs, thereby conceding to the judgment and costs. The Applicant's delay was attributed to dilatory conduct rather than inability or failure to take necessary steps within the prescribed time. The court held that partial satisfaction of the decree precluded the Applicant from challenging the taxation at this stage, and tha…

Odeke & 2 Others v Uganda (Criminal Appeal 63 of 2019) [2025] UGSC 16 (11 April 2025)
The Supreme Court held that its jurisdiction in criminal appeals regarding sentence is strictly limited by Section 5(3) of the Judicature Act, which prohibits appeals based on severity of sentence. The appellants' challenge was found to be a disguised appeal against severity, not legality, of sentence. The Court found no illegality or inconsistency with judicial precedent in the sentences imposed. The appeal was therefore dismissed, and the sentences of 25 years' imprisonment for each appellant were upheld.
