Katwesige v Kyeyune and Others (Miscellaneous Cause 6 of 2023) [2023] UGHC 99 (14 November 2023)

The court emphasised that the purpose of summary procedure is to provide a quick remedy, but the protracted delay in this case had already frustrated that purpose. Furthermore, the existence of a prior pending suit between the same parties on the same subject matter raised a plausible defence under section 6…
