Kisaka v Nganda

Kisaka v Nganda (Miscellaneous Cause 284 of 2022) [2023] UGHCCD 403 (11 September 2023)

Court

HC: Civil Division (Uganda)

Case number

Miscellaneous Cause 284 of 2022

Judge

Baguma, J

The court found that the respondent did not seize the applicant's property but only exercised his contractual right to inspect the premises before the applicant vacated, as stipulated in the tenancy agreement. The applicant's early departure without inspection constituted a breach of contract, and the evidence did not support claims of property damage or violation of fundamental rights. The dispute was contractual, not a matter of constitutional rights infringement. Consequently, the applicant was not entitled to the remedies sought.
