Jemba & Anor v Barclays Bank (U) Ltd (Miscellaneous Cause No. 167 of 2010) [2010] UGCommC 35 (16 December 2010)
Order 22 inquiry is provisional; the matrimonial plot was mortgaged to a third party, so the release-from-attachment motion was dismissed.
Civil procedure – Order 22 rules 55–57 – Investigation into attachments limited to possession at date of attachment and provisional inquiries into title. Matrimonial property – protection against attachment where objector demonstrates possession/interest; however a prior registered mortgage binds. Land law – distinction between adjacent plots enclosed within one boundary; survey/valuation errors do not override registered encumbrances. Remedies – redundant attachment challenge dismissed where property is not subject to attachment but is mortgaged to third party.

Civil procedure – interlocutory applications – Order 12 Rule 3(2) CPR – timelines for service and replies – affidavit in reply filed out of time – leave required to file late – estoppel and constitutionality not a cure for procedural non‑compliance.
