Supreme Court: "...Counsel who appear before courts and especially before appellate courts should take care to show relevancy, pertinence, precision and adequate research."

08/11/2021

Court of Appeal: "...this Court is inclined to believe the appellant that the loss of the Court record could have impeded him from applying for leave to file a notice of appeal out of time. An Application for leave to file a notice of appeal out of time requires an applicant to be in position of lodging a memorandum of appeal."

05/11/2021

Court of Appeal: "We accordingly, set aside the conviction and sentence of 50 days imprisonment of the appellant for the offence of murder c/s 188 and 189 on the ground that the trial court record of the High Court at Kampala...went missing. We order for a retrial of the appellant..."

04/11/2021

Court of Appeal: "Before we take leave of this appeal, we express our great disappointment to the fact that all the Court proceedings of the trial in this case went missing without a trace. There must be an evil hand of corruption behind this."

28/10/2021

High Court: "...a single illegal practice or election offence under the PEA, once proved, by the Petitioner, to the satisfaction of the court, suffices to prove a ground for setting aside an election. The weight or significance of the bribe would not matter as long as it is proved..."

26/10/2021

High Court: " It is expected that evidence in elections will come from partisan witnesses since the reality is that in an election, the populace is called upon to take one side or other other. They are not neutral. This does not mean that the evidence is not credible on that count alone. However the courts have cautioned against relying on such evidence without corroboration..."

25/10/2021

Court of Appeal:"...the appellant was deprived of his properties in a manner tainted with illegality. He was using the suit properties for commercial purposes in the apartments and hostel. He was therefore deprived of financial earnings from them. The appellant resided on one of the suit properties in Bweyogerere where he was evicted forcefully. All these events made the appellant suffer emotionally and economically. This entitles him to an award of general damages. I consider the sum of Shs. 50,000,000 as sufficient to compensate him..."

22/10/2021

Court of Appeal: "Although the 2nd respondent did not claim for the Shs. 170,000,000 which the appellant acknowledged as having received as a loan, it is just and equitable that the appellant refunds this sum of money to the 2nd respondent."

21/10/2021

Court of Appeal: "...were title is good title, the cheated stamp duty can be reported to and investigated by the tax authority and the Commissioner General of URA can thereafter collect the cheated stamp duty or shortfall in the said tax."

20/10/2021

Court of Appeal: "I am alive to the fact that no loan agreement exists on record. Be that as it may, after scrutinising the evidence as a whole, it appears to me that the appellant signed the land sale agreement, transfer forms and powers of Attorney with the sole understanding that the transaction that the transaction that he was entering in the 1st and 2nd respondents was a loan transaction. The suit properties and documents he signed were only meant to act as security should he have failed to repay the loan."

18/10/2021

Court of Appeal: "In the absence of evidence that the parties intended to be legally bound contractually to the sale and transfer, Court should be reluctant in deciding that the executed documents formed the basis of a legal contractual relationship. the exigencies of every day life such as the need for money to pay medical bills, schools fees which cause temporary indisposition make it most unlikely that either party contemplated that one was legally bound to confer transfer of such security."
