Dorina Akera v Jererimson Okema Opira and Irene Opira (Civil Appeal No. 194/ of 2023) [2025] UGHC 373 (4 June 2025)
The High Court found that the trial magistrate properly exercised discretion in granting review of the judgment in Civil Suit No. 034/2016.

The court held that the principles of natural justice and substantive justice required that all parties with a legitimate interest be heard, especially in cases involving customary land tenure where boundar…

Rugambwa and Another v Turyamwijuka and Another (Civil Revision 1 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 1235 (28 November 2024)
The High Court found that the Applicants failed to demonstrate any error or mistake apparent on the face of the record in the orders made in Divorce Cause No. 0006 of 2016. The trial Magistrate properly considered the law and the facts, concluding that the alleged errors required extraneous evidence and were not manifest on the record. The criticism that the Magistrate relied on the Resident Judge's guidance regarding objector proceedings was unfounded, as the Magistrate independently determined that the application did not qualify for review under Order 46 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The H…

The court found that the applicants, as registered proprietors and defendants in the main suit, were directly affected by the orders made in Misc. Application No. 1453 of 2024, despite not being parties to that application. The exclusion of the applicants from proceedings that resulted in orders impacting their proprietary interests constituted an error apparent on the face of the record. The court held that a third party may seek review if they can demonstrate they are aggrieved by a decision, and the applicants met this threshold. The applicants also established that new and important evide…
