State Wide Insurance Company Limited v Kisozi Complex (U) Limited and Others (MISC.APP NO.016 OF 2025) [2025] UGHC 311 (20 May 2025)
The court found that the applicant demonstrated a prima facie case with triable issues in the main suit regarding ownership and alleged fraudulent transfer of the suit property. The applicant showed a likelihood of suffering irreparable harm if the caveats were removed, as this would allow the respondents to dispose of the land before the main suit is determined, and damages would not be an adequate remedy. The balance of convenience favored the applicant, as maintaining the status quo would not cause injustice to the respondents. The court emphasized that the purpose of a temporary injunctio…

Kyamanywa & Others v Amama & Others (Civil Suit 4 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 287 (11 April 2025)
The court found that the plaintiffs proved they are the rightful administrators of the estate of Hermenegeldo Kalubanga, also known as Merizeldo.

Mukwatanyi v Byakika (Civil Suit 465 of 2013) [2022] UGHCLD 316 (2 March 2022)
The court found that the Plaintiff only sold 120.7 acres (50 acres in 1999 and 70.7 acres in 2007) to the Defendant, not the entire 258.7 acres. The Defendant's claim of purchasing the entire land was unsupported by written agreements for the remainder, and the Plaintiff's illiteracy and lack of translation of documents rendered the purported agreements for the rest of the land invalid. The Defendant fraudulently transferred the entire land into his name, exceeding what was lawfully purchased. The court held that fraud was attributable to the Defendant, voiding the transfer of the excess land…
