Nabirye & 6 Others v Kyobe & 2 Others (Civil Suit 2054 of 2016) [2024] UGHCLD 202 (6 August 2024)
The plaintiffs lawfully purchased the suit land from the 1st defendant, took possession, and were denied transfer forms and title due to fraudulent conduct by the defendants. The limitation period for fraud commenced when the plaintiffs discovered the fraudulent acts between 2010 and 2013, making the suit timely.

Kato v Oging (Civil Suit 260 of 2017) [2023] UGHCLD 244 (17 August 2023)
The plaintiff established lawful acquisition of the Kibanja by purchase from Hajji Hassan Bulwadda with the consent of the registered owner, Hassan Walubi Bulwadda, as required by section 34 of the Land Act. Oral and documentary evidence confirmed the owner's consent and the location of the Kibanja.

The law prohibits acquisition of a Kibanja without the registered owner's consent, rendering the defendant's claim invalid.…

The respondent was a bona fide purchaser for value without notice. The appellant's eviction of the respondent was unlawful, entitling the respondent to general damages for trespass and inconvenience, and interest on the loan facility taken to purchase the land. The award o…
