Procedural Posture
Civil Suit / Ruling on Preliminary Objections
Legal Issues
- 1 Whether the suit is barred by res judicata due to previous litigation over the same property and parties.
- 2 Whether the plaintiffs have locus standi and a cause of action to seek revocation of letters of administration granted to the defendant.
- 3 Whether the grant of letters of administration to the defendant was obtained fraudulently or in substance defective.
Ratio Decidendi
The court found that the preliminary objection of res judicata raised by the defendant could not be sustained because the issue of revocation or annulment of letters of administration granted to the defendant was not litigated in the previous suit (Jinja High Court Civil Suit No. 19/94) nor decided by the Court of Appeal in Civil Appeal No. 1/96.

The court further held that the plaintiffs have locus standi and a cause of action as widow and children of the deceased, seeking relief under the Succession Act. The court overruled the preliminary...
Court Disposition
Preliminary objections overruled; suit to proceed.
Orders
- Preliminary objections of res judicata and lack of locus standi are overruled.
- Defendant to pay costs of the application.
