Allowing the applicant to defend would be a waste of judicial resources and an abuse of proce…

Roofings (U) Limited v Basangwa Isaac (Civil Appeal No. 3 of 2024) [2024] UGCommC 387 (20 December 2024)

The Defendants' liability was not extinguished by the sale, as the proceeds were insufficient to clear the debt. The 2nd and 3rd Defendants were held liable as guarantors, with their guarantees enfor…
