Muhammad Musanje v Kigaba Bukenya Erismus (Miscellaneous Application 72 of 2025) [2025] UGHC 378 (27 May 2025)
The court found that the applicant's appeal raises serious legal questions regarding the effect of withdrawal of suit and service of notice, which are not frivolous or vexatious and merit determination by the Court of Appeal. The previous stay order lapsed upon dismissal of the initial appeal, and the applicant's subsequent appeal to the Court of Appeal gives rise to a fresh right to seek a stay. The court determined that continuing with the counterclaim and contempt proceedings would risk rendering the appeal nugatory and cause irreparable harm to the applicant, who is the registered proprie…

Ndyamuhaki v Uganda (Criminal Revision 3 of 2024) [2024] UGHCCRD 70 (9 December 2024)
The High Court found that Section 208 of the Magistrates Courts Act does not apply to criminal proceedings, as it is confined to civil jurisdiction.

Muyonjo v Nsamba & 2 Others (Miscellaneous Application 1636 of 2024) [2024] UGHCLD 270 (15 November 2024)
The court found that although the parties in the two suits are not identical, there are common parties and the subject matter in both suits relates to the same land (Busiro Block 449 Plot 9 at Bendegere). The pleadings in both cases raise similar questions of law and fact regarding ownership and interests in the suit land. The court held that determining the suits separately could result in inconsistent decisions and multiplicity of proceedings, which consolidation is intended to prevent. Therefore, in the interests of justice and to ensure comprehensive determination of all parties' interest…
