The preliminary objections do not qualify as pure points of law since they require evidence to determine whether statutory notice was properly served and whether the plaint discloses a cause of action; the plaint, when read as a whole with annexures, sufficiently discloses a cause of action for breach of facility agreements.

Yohane Ibrahim Kaduma

1st Defendant

Marianne Kusaga Kaduma

2nd Defendant

Procedural Posture

Commercial Case / Ruling on Preliminary Objections

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the suit is incompetent for want of issuance and service of a statutory notice to the borrowers before commencement of legal proceedings for recovery
  2. 2 Whether the Plaintiff has a cause of action against the Defendants

Ratio Decidendi

The preliminary objections do not qualify as pure points of law since they require evidence to determine whether statutory notice was properly served and whether the plaint discloses a cause of action; the plaint, when read as a whole with annexures, sufficiently discloses a cause of action for breach of facility agreements.

Court Disposition

Preliminary objections dismissed with costs; suit to proceed to pre-trial conference.

Orders

  • The two preliminary objections are dismissed with costs.
  • The suit shall proceed to its next stage of conducting a first pre-trial conference.
