Holding
An application for review of a High Court judgment was dismissed where the applicant sought to assert a proprietary interest in a commercial room purchased from a beneficiary who had already transferred her beneficial share to another party. The court held that no error apparent on the face of the record existed, as the beneficial share had been validly transferred before the applicant's purported purchase, and the applicant had knowledge that a third party was in possession at the time of his purchase.
Outcome
Application for review dismissed
Facts
The late Kalema John bequeathed a commercial room to three beneficiaries in equal shares: Kisaakye John, Nakamaanya Sylivia, and Ndaula Geofrey. Kisaakye John purchased Ndaula Geofrey's share and subdivided the room into two. He then sold one subdivided room to Byamukama Bosco, who later sold it to the respondent Mukasa Frank. The applicant Ahishakiye Manuel subsequently purchased what he claimed was Nakamaanya Sylivia's beneficial share. However, evidence showed that Nakamaanya Sylivia had already transferred her beneficial share to Kisaakye John under an agreement, though Kisaakye breached the contract by failing to pay. At the time of the applicant's purchase, Byamukama Bosco was already in effective possession of the room. The applicant sought to review the High Court's earlier judgment in Civil Appeal No. 78 of 2022, which had granted exclusive possession to the respondent.
