Land And Property [2024] UGHC 691

Sserwanga and Another v Commissioner for Land Registration

Sserwanga and Another v Commissioner for Land Registration (Civil Miscellaneous Application 56 of 2024) [2024] UGHC 691 (8 April 2024)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Miscellaneous Application 56 of 2024
Judge
Oyuko Anthony Ojok, J

The court found that the applicants had demonstrated a prima facie case with a probability of success, as the main application raised serious issues that were neither frivolous nor vexatious. The applicants showed that there was an imminent risk of being deprived of their interests in the suit land before the main application could be determined, and that such deprivation would result in irreparable loss not adequately compensable by damages, particularly given the involvement of third-party interests. The court further held that the balance of convenience favored the applicants, as refusal t…

Steven Pepe v The Registrar of Titles (HCT-00-CV-MC-0070-2004)

Steven Pepe v The Registrar of Titles (HCT-00-CV-MC-0070-2004) [2005] UGHC 45 (9 August 2005)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
HCT-00-CV-MC-0070-2004

The applicant demonstrated a legitimate interest in the suit land by virtue of purchase from the registered proprietor and subsequent possession and development.

Civil Procedure [2017] UGHCCD 8

Sserwanga & 4 Ors v Musoke & 2 Ors (MISC. APPLICATION NO. 0152 OF 2016)

Sserwanga & 4 Ors v Musoke & 2 Ors (MISC. APPLICATION NO. 0152 OF 2016) [2017] UGHCCD 8 (17 January 2017)

Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
MISC. APPLICATION NO. 0152 OF 2016
Judge
Luswata, J

The court found that the applicants, as beneficiaries of the estate, had established a prima facie case since there was a serious question to be tried regarding the validity of the respondents' proprietorship and its impact on the applicants' rights. The court was satisfied that the applicants would suffer irreparable harm if the suit land was further subdivided or transferred before the main suit was determined, as inheritance rights are unique and not adequately compensable by damages. The balance of convenience favored the applicants, especially as the application was uncontested. Accordin…
