GM Sugar Limited v Isabirye (Miscellaneous Application 97 of 2022) [2024] UGHC 646 (3 July 2024)
The court found that the interim order issued by the Deputy Registrar in Miscellaneous Application No. 269 of 2019 was overtaken by events, as the respondent had already been evicted from the suit land prior to its issuance. The order was open-ended, lacking a definite time frame, which is contrary to the purpose of interim injunctions and susceptible to abuse. The applicant demonstrated sufficient cause for the order to be varied or set aside, as the status quo had changed and the respondent had not pursued the main suit. The court held that interim orders must be temporary and clearly defin…

The court found that the Respondent's affidavit in reply was filed within the statutory period, overruling the preliminary objection. On the issue of service, the court held that the Applicant failed to prove non-service on the balance of probabilities, and the affidavit of service was given the benefit of the doubt. Regarding the cause of action, the court determined that the plaint disclosed a valid cause of action as the Respondent was deprived of access to the suit land, which he used as an access road, and the suit was neither frivolous nor vexatious. On security for costs, the court hel…

Kakyomya v Commissioner Land Registration (Miscellaneous Cause No. 3 of 2022) [2023] UGHC 3 (17 January 2023)
The respondent failed to show cause for maintaining the caveat on the applicant's land, which was lodged in October 2009. The law requires the caveator to take steps to establish their interest with finality and to justify the continued existence of the caveat after the statutory period. In the absence of any justification or action by the respondent, and in order to meet the ends of justice, the court finds that the caveat should be removed. The applicant's proprietary rights are being unduly restricted without lawful cause, and the respondent's inaction cannot be allowed to perpetuate the e…
