Nsubuga v Nakiganda & 2 Others (CIVIL APPEAL NO. 154 OF 2016) [2020] UGHCCD 24 (26 March 2020)
The court found that the appellant had defaulted on rent payments, resulting in the lapse of the tenancy agreement prior to the sale of the premises. There was no mutual agreement among all parties to discharge the original contract and substitute a new one, thus the doctrine of novation did not apply. The appellant was deemed a trespasser at the time of eviction, and there was no contractual obligation for the 1st respondent to transfer to the 2nd respondent. The trial magistrate's findings were upheld, and the appeal was dismissed for lack of merit.
