The court found that there was no credible evidence of a valid transfer or sale from Yofasi Sekaiba to Yafesi Walusimbi, and the registration of Yafesi Walusimbi as proprietor of Busiro Block 260 Plot 8 was fraudulent. The absence of a sale agreement, transfer instrument, or any witness to such a transaction, combined with the title showing Walusimbi as first registered proprietor, led to the conclusion that the title was procured by fraud. Consequently, all subsequent registrations and transfers by the 3rd to 7th defendants, and sales to the 8th, 9th, and 10th defendants, were void as they d…

Kaheeru v Kabazarwe

Kaheeru v Kabazarwe (Civil Appeal 30 of 2024) [2024] UGHC 980 (18 October 2024)

The High Court found that the suit land did not constitute matrimonial property or family land as defined by Ugandan law. The evidence established that the appellant neither resided on nor contributed to the acquisition or development of the property, and there was no joint intention to treat it as a family home. The respondent lawfully acquired the suit land through a valid chain of title, with no evidence of fraud or illegality in the transactions. The trial magistrate properly evaluated the evidence and applied the correct legal principles, and the appellant failed to prove any of the grou…
