Waluya v Nakyejwe (Civil Suit No. 1215 of 2021) [2023] UGHCLD 72 (20 March 2023)
The court found that the defendant breached the sale agreement by selling land encumbered by a caveat, which she failed to disclose and remove, thereby frustrating the plaintiff's ability to obtain good title. The defendant's conduct amounted to fraudulent misrepresentation, as she assured the plaintiff there were no encumbrances and encouraged him to invest in the property.

Galina Vs Kibuuka & Anor (Civil Appeal No. 42 of 2016) [2019] UGCA 145 (11 June 2019)
The Court of Appeal found that the transaction between the appellant and the first respondent was not a straightforward sale of land but a money lending agreement, with land titles deposited as security for the loan. The appellant advanced Ug.shs. 70 million to the respondent, with an unenforceable interest of 20 percent per month. There was insufficient evidence that the alleged purchase price of Ug.shs. 120 million was ever paid for the second agreement. The appellant failed to prove payment and the agreements were structured to secure repayment of the loan, not to effect a sale. The trial…
