Nor do I accept his other contention that the objection proceedings were designedly delayed and ther e fore, under 0.19 Rule 55, the High Court should have declined to investigate the objection. Attachment was advertised in Uganda Government Gazette on 8/10/1999. It h?rdly requires imagination to appreciate that the widow was most unlikely to
have seen the advertisement in the gazette. Whatever the case, according to the court record, the sale took place on 10/11/99 and apparently without the widow having been served with notice of intention to sell. The widow only became aware of the purporte d sale when Court bailiffs threatened to evict her from the suit property. Clearly that was after the purported sale. She then lodged objections on 23/12/99 having initiated the same by swearing her affidavit on 16/12/1999. This was barely a month after th e purported sale. This cannot be described as a designed delay especially when there is no evidence that she was aware of the date of attachment and of even the date of the subsequent sale. In all these circumstances, I find that both grounds 2 and 3 are n ot sound and both ought to fail. \par }\pard\plain \s49\qj \fi590\li0\ri0\sb53\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\tx4176\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid4612435 \f1\fs24\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\cs74\f0\insrsid1452665\charrsid612672 For the foregoing reasons, I would dismiss this appeal with costs to the respondent in this court and below. \par }\pard\plain \s33\qc \li0\ri2568\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\faauto\rin2568\lin0\itap0\pararsid4612435 \f1\fs24\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\f0\insrsid1452665\charrsid612672 \par \par }\pard\plain \s21\ql \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid4612435 \f1\fs24\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\f0\insrsid1452665\charrsid612672 \par }\pard \s21\qc \li0\ri0\sb163\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid7104576 {\cs74\b\f0\ul\insrsid1452665\charrsid7104576 JUDGMENT OF KAROKORA.
