Namatovu Ramula and Others v Modern Electronics Limited (Miscellaneous Application No. 1108 of 2025) [2025] UGHCLD 121 (10 July 2025)
The court found that the respondent's alleged injury, including the claimed UGX 400,000,000 in development costs, was quantifiable and could be compensated by monetary damages, thus failing the irreparable damage test required for a temporary injunction. The respondent did not challenge the appellants' proprietary interests but sought to enforce contractual obligations arising from a lease agreement with the previous owner. The court held that while the respondent demonstrated triable issues (prima facie case), the balance of convenience favored the appellants as registered proprietors who ha…

Kintu Ronald Bulere and Another v Grace Power Aligawesa and Others (Miscellaneous Application 387 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 376 (4 June 2025)
The court found that the application for a temporary injunction was served out of time, contrary to Order 5 rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Rules, and no leave for extension was sought. This procedural defect is fatal and renders the application incompetent, as established by binding Supreme Court authority. Additionally, the court found that the annexures to the supporting affidavit were not properly sealed and marked by the Commissioner for Oaths, in violation of Rule 8 of the Commissioner for Oaths Rules. While the certificate of translation for the illiterate deponent was compliant, the fai…

State Wide Insurance Company Limited v Kisozi Complex (U) Limited and Others (MISC.APP NO.016 OF 2025) [2025] UGHC 311 (20 May 2025)
The court found that the applicant demonstrated a prima facie case with triable issues in the main suit regarding ownership and alleged fraudulent transfer of the suit property. The applicant showed a likelihood of suffering irreparable harm if the caveats were removed, as this would allow the respondents to dispose of the land before the main suit is determined, and damages would not be an adequate remedy. The balance of convenience favored the applicant, as maintaining the status quo would not cause injustice to the respondents. The court emphasized that the purpose of a temporary injunctio…

Pancras John Mukasa Sebuwufu v Kamoga Muhammad (Miscellaneous Application No. 0001 of 2025) [2025] UGHCLD 60 (18 April 2025)
The court held that the applicant's challenge to the Registrar's dismissal order was procedurally improper. The Civil Procedure Rules explicitly provide that any person aggrieved by a Registrar's order must appeal to a judge of the High Court under Order 50 rule 8. The applicant, instead of appealing, sought review and setting aside of the order, invoking Section 82 and 98 of the Civil Procedure Act. The court found that the existence of a specific appellate procedure precludes the use of review or inherent powers except in exceptional circumstances, which were not demonstrated. The applicant…
