John Ddamulira v Rogers Serunjogi and Fausta Serunjogi (Civil Application No. 1200 of 2023) [2025] UGCA 169 (2 May 2025)

Ddamulira v Serunjogi and Another (Civil Application 1200 of 2023) [2024] UGCA 98 (2 May 2024)
The Court of Appeal granted an interim stay restraining execution of its judgment and steps against the disputed land, pending determination of the substantive application.
Mukaaya v Ssekamwa (Civil Application 1146 of 2023) [2024] UGCA 240 (2 May 2024)
The application for an interim order fails because the Notice of Appeal filed by the applicant is fatally incompetent, having failed to comply with Rule 76(5) of the Court of Appeal Rules and lacking proper service on the respondent. Even if procedural defects were overlooked, the suit property has already been alienated to a third party, rendering any interim order to preserve the applicant's alleged interest in the land superfluous. The status quo ante has changed, and courts do not issue orders in vain. Therefore, the application is dismissed and each party is to bear its own costs.

Mujogya & 3 Ors Vs Bwango & 2 Ors (MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATION NO. 069 OF 2018) [2019] UGHCCD 289 (7 May 2019)

Nakawooya v Segawa & 3 Ors (Ma No. 35 of 2011) [2012] UGHC 9 (19 January 2012)
The application for a temporary injunction fails because the status quo the applicant seeks to protect has already been disturbed; the suit property was sold to a third party prior to the application. The purpose of a temporary injunction is to preserve the status quo, but where the property has already been alienated, such an order would be futile. The applicant did not rebut the respondents' evidence of sale, and the court is not required to address other principles for granting an injunction when the status quo no longer exists. Accordingly, the application is dismissed with costs.
