Muhammad Musanje v Kigaba Bukenya Erismus (Miscellaneous Application 72 of 2025) [2025] UGHC 378 (27 May 2025)
The court found that the applicant's appeal raises serious legal questions regarding the effect of withdrawal of suit and service of notice, which are not frivolous or vexatious and merit determination by the Court of Appeal. The previous stay order lapsed upon dismissal of the initial appeal, and the applicant's subsequent appeal to the Court of Appeal gives rise to a fresh right to seek a stay. The court determined that continuing with the counterclaim and contempt proceedings would risk rendering the appeal nugatory and cause irreparable harm to the applicant, who is the registered proprie…

Kato Sulaiman Kiggundu v Registered Trustees of Church of Uganda (Miscellaneous Application No. 256I of 2023) [2024] UGHCLD 304 (5 June 2024)
The court found that although the subject matter and reliefs sought in both Civil Suit No. 537 of 2021 and Civil Suit No. 0052 of 2023 were the same, Civil Suit No. 537 of 2021 was withdrawn by the respondent prior to the hearing of the present application. As a result, there was no previously instituted suit pending between the parties at the time of the application, and the lis pendens rule did not apply. The application to strike out Civil Suit No. 0052 of 2023 was therefore dismissed.

Kanonya & Another v Nsubuga & 3 Others (Miscellaneous Application 221 of 2022) [2024] UGHC 548 (24 May 2024)
The court found that the Applicants, by consent, withdrew all claims against the 4th Respondent in Civil Suit No. 147 of 2017, and the withdrawal was endorsed by the court, rendering the suit functus officio as regards the 4th Respondent. The legal effect of such withdrawal is that the 4th Respondent ceased to be a party to the suit, and the Applicants lost the right to act against him in that capacity within the same proceedings. While withdrawal does not bar a subsequent fresh action, it is legally and procedurally impermissible to revive withdrawn claims or rejoin the 4th Respondent to the…
