Mukaaya v Ssekamwa
Mukaaya v Ssekamwa (Civil Application 1146 of 2023) [2024] UGCA 240 (2 May 2024)
The application for an interim order fails because the Notice of Appeal filed by the applicant is fatally incompetent, having failed to comply with Rule 76(5) of the Court of Appeal Rules and lacking proper service on the respondent. Even if procedural defects were overlooked, the suit property has already been alienated to a third party, rendering any interim order to preserve the applicant's alleged interest in the land superfluous. The status quo ante has changed, and courts do not issue orders in vain. Therefore, the application is dismissed and each party is to bear its own costs.
