l. Whether the Defendants are trespassers to the suit land.

2. Whether the plaintiff is entitled to any remedies sought.

At the hearing the plaintiff was represented by Counsel Andrew Mena Grace while the defendant was represented by Kawanga John.

Both counsel filed written submissions which I shall consider in this Judgement.

## THE LAW

Thc general rule is that he or she who asserts must prove and the burden of proof therefore rests on the person who must fail if no evidence at all

Page 3 of 22

is given on either side. The standard of proof required to be met by either party seeking to discharge the legal burden of proof is on a balance of probabilities.

In Miller V Minister of Pensions U94712 ALL E R372 Lord Denning stated:

"That the degree is well settled. It must corry a reasonable degree of probability but not too high as is required in a criminal case. If the evidence is such that the tribunal cqn say, we think it more probable than not, the burden of proof is discharged but if the probabilities are equal, it is not."

It is also the position of the Law that the evidential burden does not shift to the defendant unless there is cogent and credible evidence produced on the issue for determination.

In a bid to proof their case, the plaintiffs led evidence of four witness and closed while the defendants called five witnesses.

PWI Sali Joseph Mtamale testified in his witness statement stated that he is aged 57 years and a resident of mpundwe village,nakawuka ward, Kajjansi town council and that he saw the plaintiff as a young girl and only saw the defendant at the time of dispute. That he knew both zakariya ssekitende and yowasi Lubowa.

That the lad the said Nasubuga occupied did not stretch up to from the road to the witnesses kibanja. That he was prcsent when the plaintiff erected her poultry house on the land and that she erected the structure without any dispute or interference from anybody including Nasubuga who was using utilizing the suit land at the time.

On the other hand, DWl, he finally stated that he was around when the defendants brought a surveyor and showed him the whole land without proof of ownership, he confirmed that indeed the suit land belongs to the plaintiff.

In cross examination, he confirmed that although was not present when sekitinde brought his land, he is aware of the transactions. He confirmed that he was aware of the Busululu payments by the defendant andZakaria.

PW2 James Kibuuka keeyaa testified that he is a lawful attorney of the plaintiff who us his biological sister who stays in the US. That the plaintiff became a registered owner of land comprised in Busiro block 493 plot 42, land at Mbuya and became a registered owner in 1992. That he is also the care take of his fathcr's estate which includes PLOT 43 where a one Ssekitende has a kibanja.

Nansubuga. That in 2019 the defendants entered upon the plaintiff s land and planted banana stems, cut down the fence, pulled down the gate of the farm, chased away workers and drove away the farm animals from the land which they later poisoned as per the pictures attached.

## RESSOLUTION

Before I delve in to the main issues raised for resolution I wish to deal with preliminary issues raised by counsel for the defendants in his submission.

- 1. That the suit is barred by limitation. - 2. The power of attorney is not signed in latin character. - 3. That Namukasa Mary grace and 0r Namukasa grace keeya are not the names of the same person.

To begin with, it is not professionally proper for the defendant to raise preliminary objections on matters of the law in their final submissions when they did not raise them during trial to enable the plaintiff to respond to the adequately. It feels like an afterthought intended to disrupt court. I shall however proceed to deal with the objections raised one by one.

On the issue of limitation, Section 5 of The Limitation Act, provides that;

No action shall be brought by any person to recover any land after the expiration of twelve years from the date on which the right of action accrued to him or her or, if il first accrued to some person through whom he or she claims, to that person.

However, this case is founded on both recovery of land and trespass.

With the tort of trespass to land,, the courts treat the unlawful possession as a continuing trespass for which an action lays for each day that passes (see Konskier v. Goodman Ltd [1928] I KB

Be that as it may, this cases would not be considered as stale under the limitation act.

Besides even if this case was purely founded on recovery of land, "the right of action is deemed to have accrued on the date ofthe dispossession." A cause of action accrues when the act of adverse possession occurs according to section 6 of the same Act, In F. X. Miramago v. Attorney General [1979] HCB 24, it was held that the period of limitation begins to run as against a plaintifffrom the time the cause of action accrued until when the suit is actually filed.

In this cases from the evidence on record, the dispute begun in 2019. Ideally this suit was not filled after l2 years and therefore not barred by limitation. This preliminary objection lacks merit and is accordingly over ruled.

On the issue of a power of attorney not being signed in Latin character, I am aware of the legal requirement of the powers of attorney to be signed in Latin character. I have noted that the power of attomey was signed although not in Latin character. the essence of power of Attorney in such circumstances is to ensure that the donee has locus/authority to bring such an action on behalf of another. The defendant led no such evidence on

Page 73 of 22

trial to prove that indeed the plaintiff had no authority /locus to bring such an action before court on behalf of another. Giving regard to the form in which the power of attorney was signed as a determination of this case would utterly be paying attention to a mere technicality to the prejudice of the plaintiff. Accordingly, this preliminary objection is over ruled.

On the issue that Namukasa Mary Grace and 0r Namukasa Grace keeya are not the names of the same person, it goes back to the burden of proof. He who alleges must prove. Flowever, the defendants who raised /alleged to this fact,, raised it at the least of opportunities to afford themselves a chance to prove the same and later alone denied the plaintiff a chance to prove that fact otherwise. Therefore, this preliminary objection is over ruled.

I shall therefore proceed to deal with the issues as framed.

ISSUE l; Whether the Defendants are trespassers to the suit land.

In this case, the plaintiff s claim is that the defendants trespassed on her land which was given to her by her father a one Yowasi Seeba. on the other hand, the defendants claim ownership of the same as kibanja holders whose land belongs in two tittles, on belonging to the late Sseba and another belonging to the plaintiff.

in the case of Justine E. M. N. Lutaaya vs Starling Civil Engineering Co. SCCA No.l I of 2002, trespass to land is premised upon interference with the possession of land. I must to mention that one's physical presence

on the land or use or defaclo control ofit does not amount to possession sfficient to bring an action of trespass as one is required to have had an interest in the subject land.

In the case of John Katarikawe versus lhlliam Katwiremu fig7ry HCB 210 at 214, it was observed by Byamugisha J., (as she then was) that interests in land, in particular, include registered and unregistered interests.

In the instant case, whereas the Plaintiff s claim in the suit land is based on a registered interest, that ofthe Defendant is based on an unregistered interest.

Byamugisha J., further observed in the case of Ojwang versus Wilson Bagonza CACA No.25 of 2002,further observed that for one to claim an interest in land, he or she must show that he or she acquired an interest or title from someone who previously had an interest or title thereon.

Whereas the Defendant does not dispute that the Plaintiffs are the registered interest in the suit land, the Plaintiff deny that the Defendants has a Kibanja interest thereon.

In my view since both parties claim an interest in the suit land, it is important to determine the interest of each party in the suit land before we can determine the issue of trespass.

From the evidence on record it is consistently clear that the suit land was part and parccl of thc larger pafl of lJusiro Block 493 plot 24 which

PaBe LS of 22

initially belonged to Samu Lugudde Kanyike Katula. That on the said land, the 2'd defendant's father zakaliya Ssekitende Mukasa bought a kibanja from a one Kayongo as per DE3.

It is also clear that in 1981, Sam Lugudde Kanyike Katula transferred the land comprised in Busiro Block 493 plot 24 to Yowasi Lubowa Sebba who got registered on 8/l l/1981 under lnstru. No. KLAl0068l. On 7.2 .92 Yowasi Lubowa Sseba subdivided the land in to Busiro block 493 plot 42 and 43 and transferred plot 42 to the plaintiff as per PEXI. It was confirmed by DW5 in cross examination that he was present when the plaintiff was given plot 42 above. It is therefore not in contention that indeed the plaintiff is the registered proprietor of the suit land.

However, what is in contention is whether the2d defendant's fathers had kibanja which extends to the plaintiffls land. The onus is on the defendant on the balance of probability to prove that indeed their father's kibanja extends to the plaintiff s land.

To begin with, it's necessary for court first to establish the kibanja that the defendant's father purchased from a one Kayongo. Evidence on record shows that the defendant's father purchased a kibaja on plot 24(before sub division) as per DE3. Ilowever, the same has no size, no boundaries and no neighbours mentioned. The defendant's and their witnesses confirmed this in their evidence. From the record, DEXI is evidence that the defendant's father was paying busulu to the earlier landlord Sam Lugudde Kanyike Katula and later to Yowasi Sebba estates when block 24 was sold to him. the said DEXI Equally does not show the description of the kibanja the defendant's father was paying Busulu for. The 2nd defendant, DW5 confirmed that he was there when the plaintiff was given land in 1992 by his father and indeed the plaintiff was registered on title in 1992.

There is no evidence on record to show that the defendants or the said Ssekitende paid Busulu to the plaintiff as one of her landlords. Dwl and the 1'1 defendant testified that they did not know that the plaintiff was given land by his father. I-Iowever, the 2nd defendant confirmed that he was present when land was given to the plaintiff. Besides even if it were true that indeed the said Ssekitende did not know that the plaintiff was his land, that would defeat his interest on the plaintiff s land.

defendants which he found in favour ofthe defendant's. Further from the evidence on record it is clear that the defendants and the said Ssekitende never stayed on the suit land permanently but rather left the late Teresa Nansubuga, Ssekitende's sister in occupation of their kibanja. There is no evidence on record that since 1992 when the plaintiff was registered on title, there was ever a dispute over the suit land between the plaintiff and the said Teresa Nansubuga. Instead it was Ssekitendes's evidence that in 2016 the plaintiff s attorneys, Kibuuka James, keeya settled issues pertaining the suit kibanja betwcen the said Teresa and the

Page !7 of 22 ,ta

\ tr

Clearly from the evidence on record,20l6 when a dispute was settled between a one Teresa and the defendants a portly house belonging to the plaintiff was already existing on the suit land. Although the defendants claimed that the poultry house and a structure which was built to be a school belonged to Sseba and that he had illegally erected them in 1989 under protest, the said structures were found on the suit land quite old but still standing. Besides If they were illegal structure, why dint the defendants break them down. Further, there is no evidence on record that the said illegal structures were reported to the authorities.

At locus, court observed bushy land, a few banana plantations, brick and motor house with open doors and windows,3 rooms with blackboards. Another house with no blackboards but with very old iron sheets. The 2nd defendant was recalled and he could not show court exactly the boundaries of his father's kibanja. The living fence showed by him as a demarcation was quite young, short and not a reflection of 1970s. The plaintiffs' attorney managed to identify a poultry house, a three roomed house with blackboards built by the plaintiff s father and another with very old iron sheets.

Considering evidence as a whole, the defendant's evidence of having a Kibanja interest on the suit land was vehemently disputed by the Plaintiff s evidence.

Be that as it may, I shall proceed to deal with the issue of trespass.

It was the plaintiff s cvidence that the defendants came upon the land, cut down the plaintiff s trees, forcefully cultivated there on, planted a barbed wire fence, banana stems and instigated violent acts on the said land. This evidence was not rebutted by the defendants but instead they admitted cultivating the suit land and fencing it claiming that they owned a kibanja on it. The defendants on their admission were found guilty of trespass.

The defendants are indeed trespassers in the suit property.

ISSUE 2. Whether the plaintiff is entitled to any remedies

The Plaintiff sought for the following remedies,

1. A declaration that the plaintiff is cntitlcd to an exclusive and unimpcded right of possession and occupation of all that piece of land situated at mbuya and known as Busiro block 493 plot 42 (suit propcrty)

I have already found that the plaintiff is the right full owner of the suit properly and as a result entitled to an exclusive right of possession and occupation ofthe suit land, I so declare.

2. A declaration that the defendants and their scrvants or agents have no claim on the suit property and are accordingly trespassers

I have already found th property and I so declare. at the defendants are trespassers on the su

PaEe 19 of 22

## 3. A declaration that the defendants and their agents or seryants are not entitled to remain on the suit property

## 4. Vacant posscssion

Remedies 3 and 5 are similar in effect and therefore shall deal with them together

I have already found that the defendants are trespassers on the suit property and therefore not entitled to stay on the suit property and therefore an order for vacant possession is hereby issued.

5. An injunction restraining the defendants, her agents or servants from interfering with the suit property.

## General damages

Damages for trespass are perse. In assessment of general damages, Coufts are mainly guided by the value of the subject matter, the economic inconvenience that the innocent party may have been put through and the nature and extent of the breach suffered. In Charles Acire versus Myaana Engola HCCS No. 143 of 1993 it was also held that;

"A Plaintiff who suffers damage due to the wrongful act of the Defendant must be put in the position he or she would have been if she or he had not suffered the wrong."

It is also trite law that in exercising the discretion to grant general damages, Court should not punish the Defendant for the breach but, rather put the Plaintiff in the position he or she was prior the breach complained of. See Boschcon Civil & Electrical Construction Co., (U) Ltd versus Salini Construttiri Spa HCCS No. 151 of 2008. Taking account of the inconvenience suffered by the Plaintiff as a result of the Defendant's acts, I am inclined to award Ug shs. 20,000,000/- only (Twenty million shillings) as general damages to the Plaintiffs at the rate of ten percent from the date ofjudgment till full payment.

## COSTS

Costs follow the event. The plaintiff having succeeded, she is entitled to costs. Therefore the Plaintiff is granled costs of this case.

In the result, the plaintiffs case succeeds with the following orders; -

- l. A declaration that the plaintiff is the rightful owner of the suit property. - 2. A declaration that the defendants and their agents have no interest in the suit property. - 3. A declaration that the plainliff is entitled to quiet and exclusive possession of the suit land. - 4. A permanent injunction is hereby issued restraining the defendant, her agents or and their servants from interfering, staying or cultivating on the suit land. - 5. The defendants, their agents and or their servants are here by ordered to cease any activity on the suit property.

PaEe 2! of 22

- 6. 20 (Twenty million Ugandan shillings) is awarded to the plaintiff as general damages. - 7. Interest of 10% per annum on general damages is awarded from the date of Judgement. - 8. Costs of the suit
