Chatherine Serwadda and Another v Michael Nsereko and Another (Miscellaneous Cause 77 of 1992) [1993] UGHC 105 (19 January 1993)
A caveat must be backed by a protectable interest; respondents lacked such interest, so caveats were removed.
Land law – Caveat – Validity requires a protectable legal or equitable interest (s.148 RTA); Administrator‑General’s distribution and issuance of succession/letters; registration by successors; beneficiaries carved out by distribution lack protectable interest to support caveats; related suit by a minor does not validate caveats not lodged on the minor’s behalf.
