Ahamed Yawe and Another v Kayemba Joseph and Others (Civil Appeal 25 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 1274 (11 December 2024)
The court found that the sale of the suit land to the respondents under their association FREFA was lawful, as it was conducted with the participation and consent of the beneficiaries and the administrator of the estate at the time. The evidence showed that the estate of the late Mukasa Yosefu had been distributed by consensus among the beneficiaries, including the appellants, who received their share. The court rejected the appellants' claim that they had purchased the shares of Namukwaya and Nakyoni, finding no credible evidence of such transactions. The court further held that the responde…

Muhangi v Nuwagira (Civil Appeal 25 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 636 (5 July 2024)
The High Court found that the late Eliphaz Kimpenda died intestate, as no will was produced and the letters of administration were not granted with a will annexed. The suit land was lawfully distributed to Georgina Kimpenda by all administrators, as evidenced by the family meeting minutes (PEX2). Upon distribution, the land ceased to be part of the estate, and Georgina Kimpenda had full rights to deal with it, including selling it to the respondent. The appellant's argument that their mother was only a caretaker and could not sell the land was rejected as unconstitutional and contrary to the…

Komuhendo v Sabiiti and 5 Others (Civil Appeal 27 of 2020) [2024] UGHC 611 (28 June 2024)
The appellate court found that the appellant's claim of beneficial ownership and donation of the suit land as a gift inter vivos was not supported by credible evidence or consistent pleadings. The evidence showed the suit land forms part of the estate of the late Jane Kabambukya Pelusi, with both the appellant and respondents as beneficiaries. The appellant failed to prove exclusive possession or a valid gift inter vivos, and her pleadings did not support the donation theory advanced at trial. Regarding trespass, the respondents, as beneficiaries with a beneficial interest in the estate, coul…

Marvel Contractors and Road Maintenance Limited v Munyanganizi (Civil Appeal 200 of 2014) [2023] UGCA 269 (17 October 2023)
The Court of Appeal found that the respondent, though not the registered proprietor at the time of the appellant's trespass, was a beneficial owner with equitable interest, having purchased the land from the beneficiaries of the estate subject to their obtaining letters of administration. The subsequent grant of letters of administration and transfer of title to the respondent regularized the transaction, rendering it voidable but not illegal. The appellant, not being privy to the sale, lacked standing to challenge its legality. The appellant's entry and excavation on the land without consent…

Jomayi Property Consultants Limited v Tumukunde (Miscellaneous Application 1517 of 2021) [2022] UGCommC 127 (24 March 2022)
The court held that the consent decree imposed reciprocal obligations on both parties: the applicant was to pay instalments, and the respondent was to deposit the land title deeds in court upon receipt of the first instalment. Execution of the decree cannot proceed unless the party seeking execution (the respondent) has performed his own obligations under the decree. The respondent's failure to deposit the title deeds in court precludes him from executing the decree. Furthermore, the land in question, having been sold and transferred to third parties, is no longer property over which the resp…
