Batwawula v Kaddu & 2 Ors (Misc Application No. 0474 of 2016) [2017] UGHCLD 259 (6 November 2017)

Court

HC: Land Division (Uganda)

Case number

Misc Application No. 0474 of 2016

Judge

Kawesa, J

The Respondents failed to file any affidavit in reply to the Applicant's claims, leaving the evidence unchallenged. The law requires caveators to respond to notices to show cause, and their failure to do so after lodging caveats in 2008 demonstrates a lack of interest or justification for maintaining the caveats. The court finds it equitable and just to vacate the caveats, allowing the Applicant, as the registered proprietor, to put the land to use. The application is granted with costs.
