Rahbot Chick (U) Limited & Another v Stanbic Bank Uganda Limited (Miscellaneous Application 782 of 2023) [2024] UGCommC 83 (27 February 2024)
The applicants failed to demonstrate any bonafide defence or triable issue in the summary suit. The credit facility agreement did not condition repayment on Ugachick's payments to the 1st applicant, and Ugachick was not privy to the facility agreement. The applicants' argument regarding the alleged forgery of the 3rd defendant's signature was unsupported and inconsequential, as the 2nd applicant, as managing director, had authority to bind the 1st applicant. The applicants did not refer to any contractual provision entitling them to indemnity from Ugachick for loans taken to perform their con…

Mbooli v Nabawanuka and Another (Civil Suit 1753 of 2000) [2023] UGHCLD 126 (9 May 2023)
The court found that the contract for sale of the suit property between the counter claimant and the 1st counter defendant was valid and had been varied by oral agreement, allowing the counter claimant to pay the balance later and take possession before full payment. By paying a substantial portion of the purchase price and taking possession, the counter claimant acquired equitable title, rendering the 1st counter defendant a trustee and unable to lawfully transfer valid title to the 2nd counter defendant. The subsequent sale and transfer to the 2nd counter defendant amounted to fraud, as the…

Bison Consult International Limited v Salim Construttori SPA (Civil Appeal No. 77 of 2013) [2022] UGCA 58 (2 March 2022)
The Court of Appeal found that, although the original contract for supply of rock fill material specified a fixed rate and range, the conduct and admissions of the parties established an oral agreement for additional supply and haulage beyond the 3km range. The respondent accepted and benefited from the additional deliveries, and expert evidence supported a reasonable rate for extra haulage. The principle of quantum meruit was applicable, entitling the appellant to payment for the additional work at a fair rate. However, the appellant failed to strictly prove the special damages claimed for u…
