Nzitatira & Anor v Sebisogi (Civil Appeal No. 008 of 2008) [2011] UGHC 110 (3 August 2011)

Flynote

Land

Case summary

The court found that the land had been gifted by the respondent to his grandson who later died intestate. Later, the same land was claimed and sold by the woman the deceased was cohabiting with, who argued that it was acquired as a marriage gift.   The court therefore found that the respondent had granted a license to his grandson, which was extinguished by his death. Thus, the court found no merit in the appeal to justify interference with the decision of the trail court.   Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed against the appellants.
