The court found that although a sale agreement existed between the plaintiffs and the defendants, the defendants, acting as administrators, lacked legal capacity and authority to sell the land, as they were not the registered proprietors and did not have beneficiary consent. This rendered the contract void ab initio. The defendants' conduct amounted to fraud and misrepresentation by concealing their lack of authority and misrepresenting their ability to sell the land. However, the plaintiffs failed to exercise ordinary diligence by not verifying the title or contacting the registered propriet…

The Tribunal rejected the Respondent's argument that only salaried government employees are required to declare, noting that the law is blind to the type o…

Bukuli v Bigirwenkya (Civil Suit 10 of 2021) [2025] UGCommC 28 (18 March 2025)
The court found that the plaintiff's late payments under the original land sale agreement were accepted by the defendant without protest, amounting to a waiver of the breach. The defendant subsequently resold the land without rescinding the contract, constituting anticipatory repudiation and discharging the plaintiff's remaining obligations. The agreement of 29th October, 2016, in which the defendant undertook to refund the plaintiff's payments, was not vitiated by duress, as there was no credible evidence of illegitimate pressure or compulsion. The defendant's counterclaim for losses arising…
