Bukuli v Bigirwenkya (Civil Suit 10 of 2021) [2025] UGCommC 28 (18 March 2025)
The court found that the plaintiff's late payments under the original land sale agreement were accepted by the defendant without protest, amounting to a waiver of the breach. The defendant subsequently resold the land without rescinding the contract, constituting anticipatory repudiation and discharging the plaintiff's remaining obligations. The agreement of 29th October, 2016, in which the defendant undertook to refund the plaintiff's payments, was not vitiated by duress, as there was no credible evidence of illegitimate pressure or compulsion. The defendant's counterclaim for losses arising…

Brianna v Mugisha (Miscellaneous Cause 98 of 2024) [2025] UGHCFD 9 (17 March 2025)
The court found that although no ministerial order extends the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act to the United States, Ugandan courts may enforce U.S. judgments under common law principles of obligation, reciprocity, and comity. The Texas court had competent jurisdiction, the Respondent was properly served and given an opportunity to participate, and there was no evidence of fraud or procedural unfairness. The orders sought to be registered are final and conclusive regarding custody and child support. The Lis pendens rule does not bar recognition of the foreign judgment, as it ap…

Kajubi Farouk alias Kinene Joshua v Uganda (Criminal Appeal No. 0417 of 2019) [2025] UGCA 189 (16 March 2025)
The Court of Appeal found that the trial judge erred by failing to properly inquire into the appellant's age, despite clear evidence and repeated statements by the appellant that he was under 18 at the time of the offence. The court held that the medical report (PF24) indicating an approximate age of 18 was not conclusive, and that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant was an adult. In accordance with the Children Act and relevant case law, any doubt as to age must be resolved in favour of the accused. Since the appellant was a minor at the time of the off…
