Nuhu Ntege v Tomusange and 15 Others (Misc Application no. 1084 2025)

Observed later treatment

No later-treatment classification is recorded for this judgment.

Citator coverage is limited to judgments in the Wakilii corpus and source-matched treatment records. Absence of a signal is not an assertion that the case remains good law.

Holding

Application for leave to appeal dismissed. The court found that the applicant's grounds for leave lacked merit because the court had considered the inventory dated 3 March 2013 in the earlier review application and found it did not include the suit property. The status of the applicant's withdrawn appeal to the Court of Appeal was irrelevant to the dismissal of the review application.

Outcome

Application for leave to appeal dismissed with costs

Facts

The applicant, as administrator of two estates, sought leave to appeal the High Court's ruling of 30 April 2025 which had dismissed his application for review of the judgment in Civil Suit No. 439 of 2013. The applicant argued that the appeal had high likelihood of success, that his withdrawn appeal to the Court of Appeal should not have been considered, and that an inventory dated 3 March 2013 was not properly considered by the court. The respondents opposed the application, arguing it was incompetent, that the applicant lacked locus standi, and that the inventory was falsified.

Issues

1. Whether the Applicant has demonstrated sufficient grounds to justify the grant of leave to appeal this Court's ruling delivered on 30 April 2025?

Orders

• Application dismissed.
• Costs awarded to the Respondents who filed replies.
