Mutyaba-Segulani & Another v Sebyatika & Another
Mutyaba-Segulani & Another v Sebyatika & Another (Civil Revision No. 5 of 2018) [2020] UGHCLD 14 (9 April 2020)
The court found that the affidavit in support of the application was fatally defective as it was sworn by counsel acting for the applicants on contentious matters, contrary to the Advocates (Professional Conduct) Regulations. Furthermore, the application for revision was premature because the lower court had not made a final determination in Civil Suit No.54 of 2015. Revisionary powers can only be invoked after a final decision has been made by the trial court. As such, the application was both incompetent and without merit, warranting its dismissal with costs to the respondents.
