Kiggwe v Kizito (Civil Suit No. 2727 of 2016) [2025] UGHCLD 107 (27 June 2025)
The court found that the late John Ssebana Kizito was unlawfully registered as proprietor of the entire 28.70 acres of land, having only purchased 5 acres from Eria Kigozi, who was bequeathed that portion from the estate of the late Yokana Mutogo. The evidence established that the suit land formed part of the estate and was distributed among beneficiaries, with only 5 acres legitimately sold. The transfer of the entire land to the Defendant's name was unlawful, though insufficient proof of fraud was found to impeach the title on that ground. The Defendant does not qualify as a bona fide purch…

Jennifer Biriibwamugumu and Others v Adonia Kahuta Biriibwamugumu and Others (Civil Suit 19 of 2019) [2025] UGHCLD 92 (19 June 2025)
The court found that the transaction between the 1st and 2nd defendants was unlawful because it purported to cancel previous agreements to which the 2nd and 3rd plaintiffs were parties, without their knowledge or participation. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th defendants were not bona fide purchasers for value without notice, as they failed to exercise due diligence by not making inquiries from persons in possession or local authorities, and ignored clear signs of the plaintiffs' interests. Fraud was established against the defendants due to acts of dishonesty, including concealing identities and execut…

Kyamanywa & Others v Amama & Others (Civil Suit 4 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 287 (11 April 2025)
The court found that the plaintiffs proved they are the rightful administrators of the estate of Hermenegeldo Kalubanga, also known as Merizeldo. The 1st defendant fraudulently obtained letters of administration by misrepresenting himself as the son of the deceased and providing false information about the deceased's residence. The subsequent transfers of the suit land to the 1st and 2nd defendants were fraudulent, as the 2nd defendant failed to conduct adequate due diligence and ignored the presence of long-standing occupants. The 3rd defendant, Post Bank Uganda Ltd, did not exercise suffici…

Winnie Senyange and Others v Peninah Nakafero and Others (Civil Suit 9 of 2007) [2025] UGHCFD 55 (4 April 2025)
The High Court dismissed a land dispute suit, finding the plaintiffs failed to prove forged letters of administration, fraud, or any basis to cancel the 5th defendant’s title.
Lutaaya v Nabwegamu & 3 Others (Civil Appeal 16 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 153 (21 March 2025)
The court found that the appellant failed to prove that the respondents obtained the suit land through fraud. The evidence showed that the caveat was lodged on plot 637, not on the disputed plots 627 and 628, and that the transfer to the late Kamanyire Julius and subsequently to the 1st and 2nd respondents occurred after the caveat was lifted. There was no credible evidence of backdating or fraudulent conduct by the respondents or the Registrar of Titles. The respondents were bona fide purchasers for value without notice of any fraud, and the appellant's failure to promptly transfer title aft…
