Court

HC: Land Division (Uganda)

Case number

Miscellaneous Application No. 974 of 2019

Judge

Kawesa, J

The application for review fails because the applicants did not comply with mandatory procedural requirements, specifically the failure to sign the notice of motion by counsel, which renders the application defective.

Court

Commercial Court of Uganda
