Background to the business dispute

Court records show that Katatumba was the registered proprietor of the commercial building under a 99-year lease that commenced on March 1, 1912 and expired on March 1, 2011. He sold 13 condominium units to Virani Bahadukali Mohamedalli, and separately sold 11 units to Peter Lule for $375,000.

Mohamedalli later sold his 13 units to Joseph Ssempebwa for $725,000. However, Ssempebwa was never given possession after discovering that Katatumba had lodged a caveat on the property during the transfer process.

Subsequently, Katatumba entered into agreements to sell the entire 92-unit property—first to Shumuk Springs Development Ltd for $5 million, and later to Springs International Hotel Ltd for $4 million.

Justice Mubiru found that Katatumba acted illegally by purporting to sell the entire property without resolving the interests of parties who had already acquired units.
