Kibirige & Another (Administrators of the estate of the late Yowana Birigwa) v Waswa & Another (Miscellaneous Cause 134 of 2024) [2025] UGHCLD 49 (14 March 2025)
The court found that the application, brought by notice of motion, was not the proper procedure for resolving the substantive and triable issues raised, including possession of the land title, alleged subdivisions, and the compensation claim. These matters require a full hearing with evidence and witnesses, which cannot be accommodated through affidavit evidence in a miscellaneous cause. The pending Civil Suit No. 395 of 2023, involving the same subject land, is the appropriate forum for resolving these issues, provided the respondents are joined as parties. Consequently, the application was…

Vantage Mezzanine Fund II Partnership v Simba Properties Investment Co. Limited & 5 Others (Taxation Appeal 14 of 2024) [2025] UGCommC 23 (13 March 2025)
The court found that the Deputy Registrar erred in principle by failing to correctly ascertain the subject matter value of the suit for taxation purposes. The pleadings established that the respondents sought relief from the obligation to pay a specified sum of USD 26,486,633.78, making the value ascertainable. The Registrar misapplied the law by treating the claim as unascertainable and by not applying the correct scale under Item 1 (1) (g) of the Sixth Schedule of The Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations. The Registrar also failed to consider all items in the bill of c…

The applicant had pending suits and there was an imminent threat of execution, satisfying the requirements of Order 22 Rule 26 of the Civil Procedure Rules. Although the applicant did not demonstrate that the respondent would be unable to refund the money if the review succeeded, the court recognized the applicant's contention of not being heard and the existence of triable issues in the review application. The balance of convenien…

Ejiru alias Paul v Uganda (Criminal Miscellaneous Application 79 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 123 (13 March 2025)
The court found that while the applicant demonstrated a fixed place of abode and presented substantial sureties, there was a real possibility of interference with prosecution witnesses, who are likely to be known and related to the applicant given the nature of the offence. The gravity of the charge and the relationship between the applicant and the victim increased the risk of interference. The applicant failed to satisfy the court that he would not interfere with witnesses or abscond if released. In balancing the applicant's rights and the interests of justice, the court exercised its discr…
