Namatovu Ramula and Others v Modern Electronics Limited (Miscellaneous Application No. 1108 of 2025) [2025] UGHCLD 121 (10 July 2025)
The court found that the respondent's alleged injury, including the claimed UGX 400,000,000 in development costs, was quantifiable and could be compensated by monetary damages, thus failing the irreparable damage test required for a temporary injunction. The respondent did not challenge the appellants' proprietary interests but sought to enforce contractual obligations arising from a lease agreement with the previous owner. The court held that while the respondent demonstrated triable issues (prima facie case), the balance of convenience favored the appellants as registered proprietors who ha…

Centenary Rural Development Bank v Dorcas Nanjero (Civil Application No: 585 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 205 (17 June 2025)
The court found that the applicant had satisfied all the conditions for the grant of a stay of execution. The applicant properly filed a notice of appeal before obtaining leave, as permitted by Rule 76(4) of the Court of Appeal Rules. The appeal was not frivolous and raised genuine triable issues, including whether the trial court erred in awarding excessive damages for a mistake attributed to the Lands Office. The applicant demonstrated that irreparable harm would result if execution proceeded, as the decretal sum would be distributed among estate beneficiaries, making recovery difficult if…

Batambuze v Ataro (Civil Application 512 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 29 (11 February 2025)
The court found that the applicant had filed an appeal with a likelihood of success and that execution of the High Court decree would render the appeal nugatory and cause substantial loss. The court was satisfied that the application for stay was made without undue delay, as the applicant had first sought a stay in the High Court, which was dismissed, and promptly filed the present application. The court noted that there was no evidence that the respondent was not impecunious or that she had sufficient property within the jurisdiction to satisfy a potential refund if the appeal succeeded. The…

Okoboi & 15 Others v Mbale City & Another (Miscellaneous Application 172 of 2024) [2024] UGHC 1109 (9 December 2024)
The court found that the applicants, though not in direct possession, exercised control over the lockup shops through agents and were collecting rent from third parties. There was no formal reallocation of the lockups to other parties, and the Deputy Town Clerk confirmed allocations were pending approval. The applicants demonstrated a sufficient interest and indirect possession to warrant preservation of their rights pending the main suit. The Assistant Registrar erred in dismissing the application for temporary injunction, having failed to properly consider irreparable damage and the balance…
