Mary Zawedde Mulira and Others v Commissioner for Land Registration and Others (Misc Cause No. 17 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCD 62 (11 April 2025)
The application was properly before the court as a judicial review against a public body. The Commissioner for Land Registration, having previously conducted a public hearing and re-registered the disputed land in the applicants' names in 2024, was functus officio and lacked jurisdiction to entertain a fresh application for a vesting order on the same title.

The court found that the consent judgment between the applicant and the 1st respondent was premised on a mutual mistake regarding the correct access road to the applicant's property. However, the applicant delayed in seeking review, and the 1st respondent had already executed the judgment, incurring significant costs and altering the property. The doctrine of laches applied, preventing the applicant from claiming as an aggrieved party. The court held that while the consent judgment was based on a mistake, setting it aside would unfairly prejudice the 1st respondent, who had complied in good f…
