Letshego Uganda Limited v Kayanja George (Civil Suit No. 188 of 2023) [2025] UGCommC 216 (14 July 2025)
The court held that the borrower breached a loan agreement, allowed recovery of the outstanding balance and money had and received, and awarded damages, interest, and costs.
Karungi Elizabeth v Cairo Bank Uganda Limited and Kkingo Parents’ Transporters Company Ltd (Miscellaneous Application No. 99 of 2025) [2025] UGCommC 185 (23 June 2025)
The application for discovery is barred by the doctrine of res judicata because the same issues and parties were previously litigated and determined in Civil Suit No. 20/2022 at Masaka High Court. The applicant and the 2nd respondent were parties to that suit, which involved the same subject matter—the sale and ownership of the four Isuzu buses. Judgment was entered against the applicant, and the matter cannot be re-litigated in this court. The addition of Cairo Bank as a party does not alter the fact that the core dispute has already been adjudicated. The principle of res judicata estops the…

Total Seeta Service Station v Stanbic Bank Limited Uganda and Julius Baale (Civil Appeal 165 of 2019) [2025] UGCA 173 (12 June 2025)

G.K.O Security Company Limited v NCBA Bank Uganda Limited (Miscellaneous Application 865 of 2025) [2025] UGCommC 107 (31 May 2025)
The High Court dismissed an application for a temporary injunction over loan and mortgage enforcement, finding no irreparable harm and that damages would suffice.
NCBA Bank Uganda Limited v Moses Kamoga and Maria Namusoke (Originating Summons No. 03 of 2025) [2025] UGCommC 133 (23 May 2025)
The High Court dismissed an originating summons seeking foreclosure, possession, and removal of caveats over disputed condominium units, finding the facts too contested for that procedure.
Ratidu Trading Ltd and Others v Equity Bank (U) Ltd (Miscellaneous Application 2646 of 2023) [2025] UGCommC 56 (10 April 2025)
The court found that the applicants failed to present any genuine defense or triable issue to merit unconditional leave to appear and defend the summary suit. Their assertions of repayment were unsupported by evidence, and their challenges to the mortgage and foreclosure process did not address the central issue of indebtedness. The applicants' conduct amounted to approbation and reprobation, undermining their credibility. The law requires a defendant to disclose a bona fide triable issue with sufficient particularity, which the applicants did not do. The obligations of the guarantors remain…

MP Electronics Limited & Another v Kamani & 2 Others (Civil Application 614 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 87 (21 March 2025)
The Court found that the applicants had established a prima facie case with a likelihood of success, as their appeal raised serious and pertinent legal and factual issues, including the right to fair hearing and the propriety of the High Court's orders made during the pendency of an interim order. The applicants demonstrated imminent threat of execution and risk of irreparable loss, as respondents were attempting to take possession and collect rent from the suit properties. The Court held that the High Court's jurisdiction over interim relief had been exhausted, justifying direct application…

The High Court dismissed consolidated applications for review, finding the applicants failed to show new and important evidence sufficient to alter the earlier execution rulings.
DFCU Bank (U) Limited v Takumara & 4 Others (Miscellaneous Application 525 of 2024) [2025] UGCommC 26 (12 March 2025)
The court found that both suits, though involving distinct properties and claimants, arose from similar transactions—loan facilities advanced to the fifth respondent and mortgages created on the disputed properties. The core questions for determination in both suits relate to the rights and interests of the parties in the disputed properties, stemming from the same loan agreements and mortgage arrangements. The court determined that consolidating the suits would avoid multiplicity of proceedings, conflicting decisions, and would serve judicial efficiency. There was no evidence of prejudice to…
