On the 12th April 1999, the Plaintiff extended to the Defendant, a loan of Shs.3m. The loan attracted interest of 24% p.a; and it was payable within one month. The Defendant deposited his motor vehicle Registered No. 366 UCR as security. He failed to repay the loan within the agreed time, and on May 14th, 1999, he wrote to the Plaintiff an d informed the Plaintiff about the difficulties he had encountered in his business. He requested for a one month extension, or in the alternative, he authorized the Plaintiff to find a buyer for the motor vehicle, so that the proceeds could be used to sett le the loan. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 The Plaintiff says it sold the vehicle in December 1999 for Shs.2.5m. The Plaintiff alleges that the money realized did not cover the full indebtedness, that there is still an outstanding balance of Shs.3}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222\charrsid15798222 , 980,000}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222 which it claims by this suit. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 When the suit came up for hearing on the 18/4/2002, Mr. Othieno Brian raised a preliminary obj}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222 ection to the suit as follows: \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Finally, that the suit is barred by section 20 of the Money Lenders Act, (Cap 264) which limits the time for recovery of money b y a money lender to 12 months from the date on which the cause of action arose. The money in question was to be paid on 12/5/99}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222 .}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 This suit was filed on 24/7/2001, more than 12 months from the date on which the cause of action arose. The suit was therefore filed out of time, and should be rejected under 0 7 rule 11 (d) of the CPR With costs. \line Secondly, Mr. Othieno\rquote s contended that the transaction is void and unenforceable, because the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222\charrsid15798222 lawyer,}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 who drew the agreement, annexed to the original plaint as \lquote A\rquote Mr. Hodge Semakula had no practicing certificate when he drew it. Such a document is a nullity, according to decided cases like }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \ul\insrsid15798222 Professor Huq}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \ul\insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 \emdash Vs- Islamic University }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Under section 7 of the Money Lenders Act, if there is no note or memorandum in writing containing all the terms of the contract, t}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15798222 hat a contract is enforceable. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 The same section also provides that no security in such a contract shall also be enforceable. It was Mr. Othieno\rquote s prayer therefore, that if the Court finds that the objections raised are valid, and especially that the money lending transaction is void, then the Court should go a step further by ordering the return }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 of the security to his client. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Mr. Kabega opposed the preliminary objection strongly; and prayed that it should be dismissed with costs. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Starting with the second point of objection, Mr. Kabega submitted that, even if the note from the Registrar showed that Mr. Semakula had no practicing certificate when he drew the loan agreement, agreement is not the only document relied on by the Plaintiff to support its case. There are other documents such as the loan application letter and form plus the letter from the Defendant. The documents are sufficient under section 7 of the Money Lenders Act, even if the Court were to hold that the lo an agreement is invalid. Mr. Kabega also contended that the vehicle was sold in compliance with the wishes of the Defendant as well as S.7}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 (1) of the Money Lenders Act. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Regarding the first ground of objection, Mr. Kabega that after the Defendant had given the Plaintiff permission to sell the vehicle, the Plaintiff did not get a buyer until March 30th }{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900\charrsid15798222 2000 that}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 is when the time began to run against the Pl}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid5331856 aintiff. The suit is therefore }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 not time barred.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Mr. Othieno reiterated his earlier position in his reply. He contended that the time began to run on the 12/5/99 when the loan was }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900\charrsid15798222 payable}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 and not 30/3/2000 when the security was sold. In any case, the Defendant was not a party to that sale. On the annextures to the plaint, Mr. Othieno submitted that they do not amount to a memorandum or note required by section 7}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 (2) of the Money Lenders Act. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 I have carefully considered the points of objection and the reply by }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900\charrsid15798222 Mr.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Kabega.

The Defendant does not also deny that he was to pay the loan within one }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900\charrsid15798222 month that}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 is by 12/5/1999. This is shown in Annexture \lquote A\rquote to the Amended plaint. Annexture \lquote B\rquote to the amended plaint is a letter dated May 1999 from the Defendant to the Plaintiff apologizing for being unable to repay the loan within the agreed time due to some constraints in his business. The letter also requests for \'93another }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \ul\insrsid14817900\charrsid15798222 period}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \ul\insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 of one month\'94 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 within which to pay. It goes on to give the Plaintiff another option to find a buyer for the car so that the money realiz}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 ed is used to settle the debt. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 It is clear from the foreg oing, therefore, that the cause of action accrued in May 1999, after the Defendant had failed to pay. The cause of action did not accrue in March 2000 after the sale of the vehicle. The suit was filed on 1/3/2001. This was more than the 12 months provided under section 20 of the Money Lenders Act. There has been no argument that the proviso to S.20 applying to his case. I }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 am also of the opinion that }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 the proviso does not apply to the facts of the case before me. The first point of objection therefore succeeds and I would dismiss }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14817900 this suit on that point alone. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14236708\charrsid15798222 Regarding the second objection, again it is not disputed that the lawyer who drew the loan agreement had no practicing certificate at that time. The letter from the Attorney General Chief Registrar date d 4/6/2001 is to the effect that Mr. Hodge Semakula was licenced to practice law for the year ending 1999 on the 20th May, 1999. The loan agreement was drawn on 14/4/1999 before he renewed his practicing certificate.
