Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
Miscellaneous Application 428 of 2017
Judge
Boniface Wamala, J
The court found that the consent order entered into by the parties on 13th March 2014 and endorsed by the court was valid and binding, as there was no evidence of fraud, misrepresentation, collusion, or illegality. The Applicants, having benefited from the consent order, are estopped from reverting to the original decree and can only claim the outstanding balance under the consent. The agreements with lawyers and commission agents for payment from the decretal sum were found to be champertous and thus unenforceable. The Respondent is ordered to pay the outstanding decretal sum within one year…

Court
HC: Land Division (Uganda)
Case number
Miscellaneous Application No. 1404 of 2021
Judge
Keitirima, J
The court sustained the respondent's preliminary objections, holding that allegations of fraud and property valuation are contentious matters requiring a full trial under ordinary suit procedures, not affidavit evidence in an application. The applicant did not reply to the preliminary objections, implying concession. The application was found incompetent as it could affect third party interests (such as Nakigoye Dorothy, who allegedly purchased the suit property) without affording them a right to be heard, violating constitutional principles of fair hearing. Consequently, the application to s…

Kasenke v Katambala & Anor (MISC. APPLICATION N0. 47 OF 2014) [2017] UGHCCD 204 (17 August 2017)
Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
MISC. APPLICATION N0. 47 OF 2014
Judge
Elubu, J
The court found that the applicant, as the holder of Letters of Administration for the estate of the late Kasenke Sedulaki, had a legitimate interest in Plot 16A, which was affected by the consent judgment entered between the respondents. There was no evidence that Anthony Kasenke had authority to act for the estate or that the estate received any money as alleged. The inclusion of the estate in the consent judgment without proper representation or authority rendered the relevant paragraphs of the judgment susceptible to review under Section 82 of the Civil Procedure Act and the principles in…
