01
Holding and result
The court found that the defendant borrowed UGX 60,000,000 from the plaintiff, secured by a mortgage over land, and failed to repay within the agreed six months. Repeated demand notices were served without effect. The mortgage was properly registered on the title. The facts and supporting documents were sufficient to warrant the issuance of an Originating Summons for the defendant to show cause why foreclosure should not be ordered. The court held that the matter should proceed by Originating Summons, as the applicant established a prima facie case for foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property, subject to further hearing.
Court disposition
Originating Summons ordered to issue for hearing; no final foreclosure order yet.
Orders
- Originating Summons to be issued and served on the respondent/defendant for hearing on a date to be fixed by the Registry.

Questions and positions
Legal issues
- 01
Whether the defendant/mortgagor failed to pay the sum advanced and interest despite repeated demand notices and should be foreclosed of the right to redeem the mortgaged property.
- 02
Whether the plaintiff/mortgagee should be permitted to sell the mortgaged land upon foreclosure in accordance with the law.
- 03
Whether the defendant/mortgagor shall pay interest at the commercial rate of 25% per annum from the date of default until payment in full.
- 04
Whether the applicant/mortgagee should be granted costs.
Party arguments
- Applicant
- The applicant, through counsel Mr. Kwemara Kafuuzi, argued that the defendant borrowed UGX 60,000,000 on 6th May 2009, secured by a mortgage over land at Busiro Block 395 Plot 1692. The defendant defaulted on repayment within six months, and repeated demand notices in 2009 and 2010 were ignored. The applicant seeks foreclosure of the defendant's right to redeem the property, permission to sell the mortgaged land, interest at 25% per annum from default, and costs.
05
Court’s reasoning
Legal principles
- 01
Order 37 rules 4 and 8 of the Civil Procedure Rules
A mortgagee is entitled to foreclosure and sale of mortgaged property upon default by the mortgagor after proper demand.
- 02
Common law principles of mortgage and foreclosure
The right of redemption is extinguished upon foreclosure if the mortgagor fails to pay within the stipulated period after demand.
06
