Nassolo and 4 Others v Engola and 8 Others

Nassolo and 4 Others v Engola and 8 Others (Civil Suit 623 of 2017) [2024] UGHCLD 115 (25 April 2024)

The court found that the sale of the suit land by Badru Katerega to Willie Patrick Ogule was conducted before Katerega was registered as administrator and without the consent of all beneficiaries, violating statutory requirements and amounting to fraud. The transaction was not for the benefit of all beneficiaries, and the subsequent registration of Ogule as proprietor was tainted by these irregularities.

The court found that the Defendant's registration and acquisition of the suit land was procured by fraud, as the alleged transferor (Mrs. Sempa) had no legitimate interest and her existence was not substantiated. The Plaintiff, as administrator of the estate of Erika Serunkuma, established a valid chain of title and legal possession.
