N evertheless the plaintiff questions various aspects of the mortgage deed. The plaintiff submits that the loan of Shs. 15,000,000/= was in existence long before the mortgage. DW2 Dick Omara, credit manager with the first defendant testified to th e effect that the loan was }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid4137751\charrsid2520952 a consequence of the mortgage, not the other way round.

The cheque leaves used are, f or the six occasions, 3302, 3303, 3304, 3305, 3306 and 3307. It is noteworthy that a different cheque book was used before and after the six occasions mentioned.

It includes terms and conditions for the credit facility. Terms relating to security and interest are amongst others. The second defendant agreed to the terms proposed by the first defendant. I am satisfied that when the mortgage deed was drawn and the security was obvious and that it was not affected by non-mention of the power of attorney. In any case no one was prejudiced as a result. This factor in no way effects the validity of th e deed which came to be registered. \par The plaintiff contends that the resolution of the second defendant was false and/or a forgery. He gives no valid basis for this. Suffice it to say that the resolution was acceptable to the first defendant and to the Registry where the mortgage got registered. What is more the second defendant nowhere indicates that the resolution was not properly reached. The plaintiff has contested that the second defendant\rquote s resolutions elsewhere but his witness, PW1, a State Attorney at the Registrar General\rquote s Department testified that nothing was amiss with resolutions registered in the Department by the second defendant. \par }\pard \s15\ql \li0\ri0\sb100\sa240\sbauto1\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\ipgp1\pararsid1049598 {\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid16676919 Another issue the plaintiff finds with the mortgage is that B. M. Satyanarayan should not have attested for the first and second defendants as this was contrary to provisions of S.155 of the Registration of Titles Act. DW1 told court that he knew Satyanarayan to be manager of the first defendant, a bank. S. 155 of the}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid4137751\charrsid2520952 Registration of Titles Act includes a bank manager among the select few permitted to act as witnesses under the Act. Consequently I see no genuine basis in the plaintiff\rquote s misgivings. I also do not see much validity in the circumstances by the plaintiff that company seals for the firm and second defendants were not used. Use of the company seals is, under the Act, subsidiary and not primary. The plaintiff would do well to read S.141 of the Registration of Titles Act. Non-use of the seals was not out of order as the seal will be used in place of signatures. \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid16676919 \par }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid4137751\charrsid2520952 Further concern by the plaintiff arises out of the fact that the suit property was variously described as Kyadondo Block 9 plot 534, Kagugube, Makerere or Kibuga Block 9 plot 534, Kagugube, Makerere. DW1 told Court that so far as he knew the two were descriptions of the same property. In all his effort the plaintiff did not show \line \bullet that the two referred to two different entities. I note that the power of attorney referred to Kibuga Block 9 plot 534. The title deed referred to the same and so did several other documents. The mortgage deed however referred to Kyadondo Block 9 pl ot 534. In the end it was the plaintiff\rquote s property that was made incidental to the mortgage. I am at sea to appreciate the plaintiff\rquote s concern here because the property that was subject of the mortgage eventually was what had been intended. I discern no merit in this contention. If there is to be one to complain it would perhaps be the person to whom the property was ultimately sold. } {\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid7627434 \par The manner in which the second defendant secured a power of attorney from the plaintiff could be subject of tongue wagging. We have only the plaintiff\rquote s word. I discern no fraud in the goings on as the plaintiff was looking for money and Sewanyana promised to bring him money. Is it not possible that Sewanyana\rquote s activities were attended by failure rather than fraud? Unfortunately he was not available to testify. \par At any rate, I find as a fact that the mortgage is valid and that arguments by the plaintiff do not vitiate its registration. See S. 51 of the Registration of Titles Act for effect. \par The second issue is whether the defendants collectively committed fraud against the plaintiff. As I have noted earlier the second plaintiff was unfortunately not available to explain its role and antecedents to getting the power of attorney. But the }{ \ul\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid7627434 Cambridge International Dictionary of English}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid595813 describes \lquote collective\rquote as of or shared by every member of a group or people. In effect the question is whether all the defendants together committed fraud against the plaintiff. I find no evidence supporting that proposition and I would answer the second issue in the negative. \par I should move next to the sixth issue. Whether }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid5313322 the plaintiff is entitled to the reliefs he prays for. After the second defendant failed to meet its obligations under the mortgage the first defendant sold the security to Alwi Hassan. Evidence of the sale is }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid4137751\charrsid2520952 exhibit D8. Clause 4 of the Mortgage Deed allowed for sale pursuant to sections 8 and 9 of the Mortgage Decree 1974 and t he necessary steps preparatory to sale were effected by the first defendant. Hassan Alwi did buy the property after all. There is no evidence that he was aware of the registered interest of the plaintiff, if any, or of any fraud if any for he would have, upon being on notice, been expected to investigate. There is no evidence that for fear of having the truth he declined such investigation. Being a bona fide purchaser for value without notice his interest cannot be impeached.
