Land And Property [2024] UGHC 2

Malinga Patrick v Otim Emou Alfred, Ojoo Naptali Ismail & Esunget Stephen

Malinga Patrick v Otim Emou Alfred, Ojoo Naptali Ismail & Esunget Stephen (Civil Appeal 21 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 2 (16 January 2024)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Appeal 21 of 2023
Judge
Adonyo, J

The High Court found that neither the appellant nor the respondents acquired legal or equitable title to the suit land. The appellant failed to comply with the terms of his allocation letter and did not obtain a lease offer or make requisite payments. The 2nd respondent also failed to meet the terms of allocation, and his interest lapsed before purportedly selling to the 1st respondent. The 1st respondent's allocation was made while a prior lease offer to a third party (Akwii Judith) was still running, and there was no evidence that the lease had been cancelled. The Soroti District Land Board…

Vivo Energy (U) Limited v Shire Petroleum Company Limited & 2 Ors

Vivo Energy (U) Limited v Shire Petroleum Company Limited & 2 Ors (CIVIL SUIT No. 0008 OF 2016) [2018] UGHCCD 3 (11 January 2018)

Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
CIVIL SUIT No. 0008 OF 2016
Judge
Stephen Mubiru, J

The court found that the plaintiff's certificate of title, issued first in time by the Arua District Land Board, was the only valid title to the suit land. The subsequent grant to the second defendant's predecessor was void ab initio, as the land was no longer available for leasing after the plaintiff's lease was executed. The purported revocation of the plaintiff's lease was ineffective, as a lease, once executed, cannot be unilaterally revoked by the lessor. The second defendant's title, issued in the name of a business name lacking legal capacity, was invalid and incapable of conferring an…

Land And Property [2017] UGHCCD 162

Lubega v Namwandu Robina Ntege

Lubega v Namwandu Robina Ntege (CIVIL APPEAL NO. 80 OF 2009) [2017] UGHCCD 162 (22 June 2017)

Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
CIVIL APPEAL NO. 80 OF 2009
Judge
Mugambe, J

The court found that the late Ntege was in possession of and had contributed to the construction of the suit lock up shop prior to the appellant's alleged purchase. The evidence presented by the appellant and his witnesses, particularly PW1, was riddled with contradictions and lacked credibility. Documentary evidence from Natete Market Development Co. Ltd supported the respondent's claim to ownership. The court concluded that the appellant had no valid claim to the lock up shop, and any money paid to PW1 should be refunded. The trial Magistrate's evaluation of the evidence was correct, and th…
