In Re: an application by Wandera (Family And Children Cause No. 0004 of 2017) [2017] UGHCFD 14 (28 November 2017)
Court appointed the biological father guardian and required a UGX 5,000,000 non‑cash bond plus restrictions to protect the child’s property.
Children Act — guardianship — appointment of parent as legal guardian — welfare principle and best interests of the child. Jurisdiction — forum — guardianship application may be heard where applicant and child reside despite property being registered in another circuit. Protection of child’s estate — requirement of non‑cash bond and restrictions on disposal, mortgage, lease and investment. Parental fitness — factors considered: sound mind, ability to provide care, absence of conflict of interest.
