Muyunga & Another v Namubiru & Another (Civil Application 668 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 43 (13 February 2025)
The court found that the applicants failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success in their pending appeal, as their conduct following the consent settlement did not show any steps toward compliance, even after the respondent vacated the caveat. The applicants did not provide evidence that the certificate of title and transfer forms were ready for delivery to the respondent. The court held that the appeal appeared frivolous and was filed merely to support the application for stay.

Batte & 5 Others v Buganda Land Board & 3 Others (Miscellaneous Cause 2 of 2024) [2025] UGHCLD 25 (31 January 2025)
The court found that no judgment or ruling had been issued in the main land dispute requiring consequential orders for enforcement. The consent judgment was entered only between the Applicants and the 1st Respondent, and the 2nd to 4th Respondents were not parties to it. Therefore, a consequential eviction order affecting the 2nd to 4th Respondents could not be issued without a full trial. The court emphasized the principle of procedural justice and the right to a fair hearing, holding that the 2nd to 4th Respondents, as caretakers/licensees, deserve an opportunity to be heard at trial regard…

The court found that the Applicant had repeatedly defaulted on payment obligations under the consent judgment, resulting in lawful execution and eviction. The Applicant was given multiple opportunities to pay but failed to do so, and the property was transferred to the 1st Respondent. The application for review was rendered moot by the completed eviction, and the Applicant's arguments did not raise any serious issues for judicial consideration. The Court of Appeal had already upheld the eviction orders, and the Applicant's intended appeal lacked merit. The court exercised its discretion to di…

GP Advocates v Attorney General (Miscellaneous Cause 108 of 2024) [2024] UGHCCD 113 (19 July 2024)
The court found that the applicant law firm had a longstanding advocate-client relationship with the UPTC pensioners, who had expressly authorized the deduction of 20% of their pension arrears as legal fees.

While the Pensions Act generally prohibits assignment of pension, the court held that the facts were exceptional and that the deduction was not from monthly p…
