Holding

The court granted a certificate of urgency where the applicant was the registered proprietor facing imminent threat of eviction based on a temporary injunction that was subject to a pending appeal. Photographic evidence showed attempted eviction with police assistance had occurred the day before the application. The court ordered the Registrar to hear the related application for interim injunction during court vacation.

Outcome

Certificate of urgency granted allowing related application to be heard during vacation

Facts

The 1st applicant is the registered proprietor of land comprised in Kyadondo Block 256 plot 2 at Munyonyo. The respondent filed Civil Suit No. 261 of 2024 against the applicants and was granted a temporary injunction via Miscellaneous Application No. 813 of 2024. The applicants appealed that ruling via Miscellaneous Appeal No. 43 of 2024, which remains pending. On 18 July 2024, the respondent, with police assistance from Kabalagala Police Station, attempted to evict the 1st applicant from the suit land using the temporary injunction. The applicants then filed this application seeking a certificate of urgency to have their stay of execution and interim stay applications heard during court vacation.
