Nakayima and 3 Others v Kisinde and Another (HCT-15-LD-CS 57 of 2016) [2022] UGHCLD 298 (19 May 2022)
The plaintiffs failed to comply with the court's directive to subject the will to a handwriting expert, citing lack of funds but providing no timeline for compliance. This failure constitutes insufficient cause to keep the suit pending indefinitely. The court, applying Section 98 of the Civil Procedure Act and guided by the need to manage case backlog, found that continued pendency of the suit was unjustified. The suit was therefore dismissed for want of prosecution, with liberty to reinstate when the plaintiffs are able to comply.
