Kayizzi v Isabirye and 3 Others (Civil Appeal 11 of 2020) [2023] UGHCLD 130 (22 May 2023)
The appellate court found that the trial magistrate erred in law and fact by striking out the amended plaint. The amendment was made by consent and court order to add new parties following the subdivision and transfer of the disputed land, not to substitute the original cause of action in trespass. The trial magistrate lacked jurisdiction to set aside a consent order made by another magistrate of equal rank. The principles governing amendment of pleadings were misapplied, as the cause of action in trespass remained consistent throughout the plaints, and the amendment did not prejudice the res…

Ariong v Angina and Anor (H.C.Miscellaneous Application No. 383 of 2020) [2021] UGCommC 107 (27 January 2021)

The applicant's action of filing a suit with similar matters constitutes a multiplicity of suits and is an abuse of court process. Consequently, the application to add Diamond Trust Bank as a party cannot be granted, as the preliminary objection disposes of the application. The instant application lacks merit and is dism…
