Matovu and Others v Igga and Others (HCT-05-CV-MC 17 of 2024) [2024] UGHC 990 (25 October 2024)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
HCT-05-CV-MC 17 of 2024
Judge
Allan Nshimye, J

The respondents failed to adduce documentary evidence to prove that the late Jamiru Lubega gifted them the suit land inter vivos. The law requires delivery of a gift of registered land to be effected by execution and delivery of transfer forms, which was not done. The applicants, as administrators, are vested with the suit land and have locus to challenge the caveat.

Court
HC: Family Division (Uganda)

The applicant's failure to seek leave rendered the notice of motion defective and expired. The preliminary objection raised by the respondent was upheld, and the application was dismissed with costs to the respondent. The court did not proceed to consider the merits of t…

Nakayiima and 3 Others v Nalumansi and 2 Others (Civil Appeal No. 111 of 2019) [2022] UGCA 245 (28 September 2022)

Court
Court of Appeal of Uganda
Case number
Civil Appeal No. 111 of 2019
Judge
Cheborion, JA, Madrama, JA, Mulyagonja, JA

The Court of Appeal held that the sale of estate property by the first and second appellants to the third and fourth appellants was illegal, as it was conducted without letters of administration, rendering the transaction null and void. The doctrine of bona fide purchaser for value without notice did not apply, as neither the third nor fourth appellants held title and knowingly participated in an unlawful transaction. The award of general damages by the High Court was excessive and not properly justified; the appellate court substituted it with a lower amount based on inconvenience and destru…
