Tumushabe v Tumwine and 3 Others (HCT-05-CV-CA 51 of 2020) [2024] UGHC 704 (26 July 2024)
The court found that both the estate of Nathan Miryo and Effrance Nyakwegira had been fully distributed among their respective beneficiaries, as confirmed by the executor and the parties' own admissions. The appellants failed to adduce credible evidence that any land remained undistributed. The trial magistrate's evaluation of the evidence and application of the law was upheld. The principle that costs follow the event was applied, and no sufficient reason was found to depart from this rule. The appeal was dismissed with costs to the respondents.
