Bamuhiga v Ndyanabangi & Another (Civil Miscellaneous Application 17 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 158 (28 February 2024)
The court found that the only issue for stay of execution before it was the taxed bill of costs amounting to UgX 4,210,000. The applicant failed to demonstrate how payment of this sum would cause substantial or irreparable loss, as restitution would be available if the appeal succeeded.

As such, the application for stay of execution…

Outreach to Africa Ltd Vs Manigamukama (Civil Applicaton No.304 of 2015) [2016] UGCA 41 (27 January 2016)
The Court found that the applicant's appeal raises substantial issues regarding the agreed acreage of the land and entitlement to the balance of the purchase price, making the appeal not frivolous. The extraction of the decree and taxation of costs made execution highly likely, and the land (a school) was at risk of attachment, constituting irreparable harm. The application was brought without undue delay, and the balance of convenience favored granting the stay to preserve the right of appeal. Although the application should ordinarily have been lodged in the High Court first, the Court exer…
