Holding
The court dismissed an application for consequential orders seeking compensation or sale of property where the applicant misconstrued a prior declaratory order. The prior judgment declared equal interest in property under a partially executed purchase agreement with an outstanding balance owed by both parties. The court held that no ownership rights were imparted justifying the consequential orders sought, and the applicant could exercise her right to receive a refund of her deposit share from the respondent.
Outcome
Application dismissed with no order as to costs
Facts
The applicant and respondent were joint purchasers of property comprised in Kibuga Block 33 Plot 776 at Mutundwe. A prior judgment in HCCS No. 1123 of 2021 declared that both parties had equal interest in the property. The purchase agreement was only partially executed, with both parties owing an outstanding balance of UGX 40,000,000 on the property. The applicant brought this application seeking consequential orders for compensation for her stake in the property or that it be sold and proceeds shared equally. The respondent opposed the application, averring that the prior judgment should be interpreted as a whole and that no full payment had been made. The respondent offered the applicant the option to receive a refund of her share of the deposit made on the property.
