Nawatti & 2 Others v Luboyera & 3 Others (Civil Suit 29 of 2018) [2024] UGHCLD 299 (23 December 2024)
The court found that the 1st and 2nd defendants were fraudulently registered as proprietors of the suit land, as they had no valid interest in the estate of the late Zakariya Musoke. The 1st defendant's claim to registration based on his status as cultural heir was rejected, as his late father had already received his share of the estate and relocated. The plaintiffs, as direct beneficiaries, were entitled to assert their proprietary rights over the suit land, which was acquired in exchange for the original family Kibanja. The court held that the registration of the 1st and 2nd defendants was…

The High Court found the plaintiff proved ownership of disputed land and held the defendants obtained registration by fraud, cancelling their title and ordering eviction.
Karabyo v Malavu and Another (HCT-00-LD-CS 1002 of 2020) [2024] UGHCLD 222 (19 September 2024)
The court found that the 1st defendant was fraudulently registered as owner of the suit property. The sale and registration were tainted by irregularities, including registration preceding the sale agreement, unexplained delays in possession, and failure to conduct due diligence that would have revealed the sale had been nullified by a prior court ruling. The court held that the limitation period did not bar the suit because the fraud was only discovered in 2020, thus postponing the running of time under Section 25 of the Limitation Act. The plaintiff proved fraud attributable to the 1st defe…

Peter Beyunga v The Registrar of Titles (HC Miscellaneous Application 100 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 407 (31 May 2024)
The court found that the applicant had recovered the land in question through a prior judgment and that the title remained unrectified due to a mistake—namely, the applicant's lack of awareness that a consequential order was required to effect cancellation of the title. The court held that, although the application was brought outside the 12-year limitation period for enforcement of judgments, the applicant's mistake constituted a valid exception under Section 25(c) of the Limitation Act. The court further held that the Registrar of Titles is the proper respondent in such applications and tha…

Bazalirwaki and 2 Others v Kiiza and 2 Others (HCT-01-CV-LD 118 of 2020) [2024] UGHC 142 (5 April 2024)
The court found that the plaintiff and Musa Bumali acquired and divided the suit land, with the plaintiff later purchasing additional land. Both were illiterate and relied on the 1st defendant to process land titles. The 1st defendant, instead of securing separate titles, fraudulently registered the land in the names of four people, including himself and the 2nd defendant, taking advantage of the plaintiff's illiteracy and trust. The evidence presented by the plaintiff and his witnesses was more credible than that of the 1st defendant, whose account was inconsistent and unsupported by indepen…
