Civil Procedure [2022] UGHCLD 312

Ziikwa v The Registered Trustees of the Redeemed Church of Christ and Others

Ziikwa v The Registered Trustees of the Redeemed Church of Christ and Others (Miscellaneous Application 166 of 2019) [2022] UGHCLD 312 (14 March 2022)

Court
HC: Land Division (Uganda)
Case number
Miscellaneous Application 166 of 2019
Judge
Ojok, J

The court found that the consent order in Miscellaneous Application No. 153 of 2019 was entered into by advocates without the knowledge, consent, or presence of the parties, specifically the applicant, who had already changed advocates prior to the signing of the consent. The absence of party signatures and the lack of evidence that the applicant authorized his former lawyer to act in the subsequent matter rendered the consent order illegal and a product of collusion between advocates. The court held that a consent order must be made with the parties' consent and presence, and that advocates…

Civil Procedure [2003] UGCA 39

Charles Twagira v Oil Seeds Uganda Limited

Charles Twagira v Oil Seeds Uganda Limited (Civil Application No. 125 of 2002) [2003] UGCA 39 (30 June 2003)

Court
Court of Appeal of Uganda
Case number
Civil Application No. 125 of 2002
Judge
Mukasa-Kikonyogo, DCJ, Mpagi-Bahigeine, JA, Twinomujuni, JA

The appeal was properly constituted between the parties whose rights were directly affected. On the issue of authority, the court held that the respondent company, through its constitution, vested management powers in its directors, and the necessary quorum of two directors authorized the filing of the appeal. The applicant, as the majority shareholder and defendant, could not be expected to author…

Commercial And Corporate [1999] UGHC 23

Greenland Bank Limited v Westmont Land (Asia)

Greenland Bank Limited v Westmont Land (Asia) (Civil Suit 309 of 1999) [1999] UGHC 23 (10 September 1999)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Suit 309 of 1999
Judges
Ntabgoba, PJ

The court held that the Central Bank's takeover of Greenland Bank Ltd. did not extinguish the bank's corporate personality or its capacity to sue or be sued. Instead, the Central Bank assumes management and control, including the power to initiate or defend proceedings, but must do so in the name of the seized institution. The new Board of Directors, appointed by the Central Bank, was competent to instruct advocates, and the authority given to the plaintiff's counsel was valid. The court found that the press release describing the Board's role as merely advisory was not legally binding and di…
