Wasswa & Anor v Kiyimba (Civil Suit No. 0482 of 2011) [2014] UGHCLD 130 (7 November 2014)

The Constitutional Court held that the Expropriated Properties Act, 1982, to the extent that it nullifies the sale of the suit property to the defendant and deprives him of his proprietary interest, does not contravene the Constitution of Uganda and is not null and void.
