## Legal arguments by Counsel for the Plaintiff

According the written submissions by Counsel for the Plaintiff 126. filed on 5^th January, 2024 and those filed in rejoinder on 4^th April, 2024 the issue of the Plaintiff's lack of locus standi was not mentioned and did not even arise during the testimonies of the witnesses.

- However, Counsel submitted that the Principal is not 127. precluded from filing an action simply because there exists an attorney and even the counter claim was brought against the Plaintiff company and not the holder of powers of attorney. - With regards to the issue of breach of agreement Counsel 128. cited Section 33(1) of the Contracts Act 2010 to argue that parties must perform their obligations under the contract unless excused by law and in the instant case clause 2 of the sale agreement was to the effect that the entire price of Ug Shs 3, 224, 756, 236/= (Three billion two hundred twenty four million seven hundred fifty six thousand shillings two hundred thirty six shillings) was to be deposited on account No. 0204380023 with Bank of Africa (U) Ltd which account was in the names of M/s International Investments Ltd. - According to the evidence of PW1 Moses Kalangwa only a total 129. of Ug Shs 525,000,000/= (Five hundred twenty-five thousand shillings) was deposited on the account agreed upon in the

agreement of sale and to Counsel this was a glaring act of breach of agreement.

- Counsel argued that if any payments were made by the 130. defendant to Plaintiff's attorney this was in violation of the agreement of sale and even the power of attorney which did not authorize the 2^nd defendant to receive the contract price in this case. Counsel relied on the celebrated case of Fredrick Zaabwe Versus Orient Bank SCCA 04 of 2006 to submit that a power of attorney can only be used to benefit the donor. - Counsel argued that the defendant purchased the suit land 131. well knowing that it had squatters and these were to be compensated in an agreed manner but by the defendant transferring all the suit land into their names they took on responsibility of the squatters. - Similarly, Counsel argued that the defendant having 132. transferred the title on Plot 1 to themselves have a duty to contact the Registrar of titles to rectify the title. - Counsel submitted that the agreement of sale exhibit P1 133. could not be altered orally to change the mode of payment from the agreed position of depositing money on a specified account to paying an attorney on another account.

Counsel submitted that the Plaintiff is entitled to the unpaid 134. balance of Ug Shs 2, 724, 756, 236/= (Two billion seven hundred twenty-four million seven hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred thirty-six shillings) and the same should be paid with damages, interest and costs.

# Legal arguments by Counsel for the $1^st$ defendant/Counter claimant

- Counsel for the defendant/Counter claimant in their 135. submissions filed on 14^th February, 2024 and also submissions in rejoinder filed on 28^th March, 2024 argued that Hajji Haruna Kayizzi Semakula was the lawful attorney of the Plaintiff company and the terms and conditions of the agreement were between Hajji Semakula and the Defendant. - Counsel submitted further that the attorney Hajji Haruna 136. Kayizzi Semakula had received a sum of Ug Shs 2,996,000,000/= (Two billion nine hundred ninety-six million shillings) but only handed over 630 Acres of land and in a sudden turn of events the Plaintiff was suing for specific performance of the agreement by

claiming a sum of Ug Shs 2, 724, 256, 236/= (Two billion seven hundred twenty-four million two hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred thirty-six shillings).

- Counsel submitted that according to the case of Stockton 137. Versus Mason 1979 RTR 130 where the agent has made a contract with a third party on behalf of a disclosed principal; who actually exists and has authorized the agent to make such contact, a direct contractual relationship is created between the Principal and the third party by the acts of the agent who is not himself a party to the agreement. - Counsel submitted that once a contract is valid like in the 138. instant case then the parties are bound by the terms and conditions of the agreement and in the instant case the Plaintiff had a duty to handover vacant possession of the suit land free of encumbrances which was not down and therefore the Plaintiff is not entitled to the Ug Shs $2,724,756,236$ (Two billion seven hundred twenty-four million seven hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred thirty six shillings) claimed.

- Counsel argued that the defendant is only occupying 630 139. Acres of land and it is not in occupation of Plot 1 because its title overlaps a Mailo title to MRV 357 Folio 10. - Counsel argued that the Plaintiff's attorney Hajji Haruna $140.$ Kayizzi Semakula was the one authorized to implement the terms of the agreement and his actions are binding on the Plaintiff and indeed even payments were effected to the attorney with the knowledge of the plaintiff. - Counsel submitted that exhibits D14 and D15 were clear 141. evidence against Hajji Semakula Haruna Kayizzi because these two (2) vouchers expressly stated that it was for land payment Katongole Group Ltd 2, 480 Acres (Kayunga) Block 153 Plot No. 1,2 because the attorney received this money as part of the purchase price and for not for any operations as alleged. - Counsel submitted that the Plaintiff having allowed the 142. attorney to exercise, implement and handover the land to the purchase is estopped from denying this authority. - 143. Counsel submitted that the Plaintiff was not entitled to an order of specific performance by payment of Ug Shs $2,724,756,236$ = (Two billion seven hundred twenty-four million

seven hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred thirty-six shillings) having failed to handover the suit land to the defendant and the defendant/counterclaimant is entitled to an order for vacant possession or in default a refund of the money paid in excess.

### Legal arguments by Counsel for the $2^{nd}$ Counter defendant.

- Counsel argued that the agreement dated 19^th September, $144.$ 2018 outlined specific terms and conditions to be fulfilled and performed and was binding on all the parties. - Counsel submitted that payments in this agreement were to 145. be effected by RTGS in the names of $M/s$ International Investment Bank Account 02040380023 with Bank of Africa and the $2^{nd}$ counter defendant was not mandated to receive any payment. - Counsel argued that since the defendant/counter claimant 146. did not pay the agreed price the removal of squatters became difficult. - Counsel argued that by the Counter claimant transferring the 147. land into their names they showed that the land was free of encumbrances and indeed due diligence was exercised before execution of the sale agreement.

- The 2^nd counter defendant categorically denied receiving 148. payments from the counter claimant on behalf of the Plaintiff. - The $2^{nd}$ counter defendant even contended to be an illiterate. 149. - The 2^nd counter defendant submitted that exhibit D28 written 150. by Akash Doberia authorized the 2^nd counter defendant to represent the counter claimant as their operations manager for Kayunga land. - In conclusion counsel implored Court to enter Judgment in 151. favour of the Plaintiff for specific performance by payment of s Ug Shs $2,724,756,236$ = (Two billion seven hundred twenty-four million seven hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred thirty-six shillings) in the main suit and for the counter claim to be dismissed against him with costs.

## **Decision of Court**

From the outset Court finds that the contents of the 152. agreement of sale dated 19^th September, 2018 which is exhibit P1 were very clear and un ambiguous and Court finds the same to be a valid agreement that created reciprocal rights and obligations between the parties to this agreement and since no fraud or misrepresentation were pleaded and or proved in this case this agreement bound the parties. See case of William Kasozi Versus DFCU Bank HCCS No 1326 of 2000.

- For the avoidance of doubt the parties to the above agreement 153 of sale were expressly described on the first page of the agreement exhibit P1 and these were M/s Katongole Group Ltd P. O BOX 18231 Kayunga (referred to as the vendor) and M/s Modern Agri Infra Ltd of P. O Box 1490 Jinja (referred to as the purchasers) these two (2) companies could lawfully execute this agreement as they were legal persons known in law. - 154. With the above findings Court will proceed to resolve the issues as framed at the scheduling conference.

#### Issue No. 1

Whether the Plaintiff can commence proceedings against the defendant.

Court appreciates the legal arguments raised on this issue in 155. the respective written submissions by Counsel and apparently the irrevocable powers of attorney issued by the plaintiff company on 19^th September, 2018 in favour of Hajji Haruna Kayizzi Semakula of P. O Box 73 Kampala Exhibit P3 seem to be the cause of this legal doubt.

It is now trite that a donee of powers of attorney is an agent 156. of the donor and where the donor (principal) is known like in the instant case then the Principal should be the one to file the suit as was done in such instance. (See case of M/s Ayigihugu & Co. Advocates versus Mary Muteteri Munyankindi [1988-1990] HCB 161) and for this reason Court having found that M/s Katongole International Group Ltd was the vendor in this case it had a right to file the instant suit against the defendant and the first issue is accordingly resolved in the affirmative.

#### Issue No. 2

# Whether the sale agreement was breached by any of the parties.

As stated earlier the contents of the sale agreement in this 157. case were in very plain English and the Plaintiff claims that there breach of clause 2 of the agreement by the $\overline{a}$ was defendant/counter claimant who also contends that there was a breach by the Plaintiff when they failed to grant vacant possession of all the land bought and yet most of the purchase price had been paid to the $2^nd$ counter defendant who was the attorney of the Plaintiff.

Court finds it necessary to reproduce the clauses relating to 158. payment of the purchase price in clause 2 of the agreement which reads as follows:

" 2. The total purchase price of Ug Shs 3,224,756, 236/= (Three billion two hundred twenty four million seven hundred fifty six thousand two hundred thirty six shillings) (subject to ascertainment/determination of the total actual acreage upon opening of the boundaries), shall be payable as follows:-

a) Shs $500,000,000/$ = (Five hundred million shillings only) shall be paid upon execution of this agreement as a commitment sum towards the purchase of the above property.

PROVIDED that upon payment of the above sum, the vendor shall surrender to M/s Muziransa Associated Advocates (the lawyers for both the vendor and the purchasers) both transaction duplicate (original) certificates of land titles relating to the land and executed transfer forms and all the particulars of the company as shall be necessary to facilitate a transfer of the said titles into the purchaser's names. b. (i) Shs 250, 000,000/= (Two hundred fifty million only) shall

be paid to the vendor upon completion of a search of the land

titles at the land registry and the transfer of the said titles into the purchaser's names at the purchaser's cost. This shall constitute the $2^{nd}$ installment.

Opening of the boundaries for the said pieces of land shall commence immediately upon payment of this $2^{nd}$ installment. (ii) Shs 250,000,000/= (Two hundred fifty million shillings) shall be paid upon completion of boundary opening of the $1^{\rm st}$ Plot, where upon full vacant possession of the first plot shall be surrendered to the purchaser.

C (i) Shs 250,000,000/= (Two hundred fifty million only) shall be paid after 30 days from the date of payment of the installment in paragraph 2 (b)(ii) and the vendor shall within 2 weeks of receipt of this installment allow the purchaser to carry out boundary opening of the $2^{nd}$ plot.

(ii) Shs 250,000,000/= (Two hundred fifty million only) shall be paid upon completion of boundary opening of the $2^{nd}$ plot, where upon full vacant possession of the said plot shall be surrendered to the purchaser.

d) Shs 1, 000,000,000/= (One billion only) shall be paid to the vendor upon completion of ploughing of both plots, and upon completion of the boundary opening, successful $\mathbf{a}$ establishment that there are no other 3td party claims of interest in the said land and surrender of vacant possession to the purchaser.

e) The balance of Shs 1, 724, $756,236/$ = (One billion seven hundred twenty four million seven hundred fifty six thousand two hundred thirty six shillings only) shall be paid to the vendor after ascertainment of the actual acreage.

All the above payments shall at the request of the vendor, be effected vide RTGS in the names of M/s international Investment Ltd Bank Account No. 02040380023 with Bank of Africa.

- 3. That upon payments in paragraph in 2(b)(i) above, the vendor shall in accordance with the terms of this agreement surrender vacant possession of the land to the purchasers whereupon the purchasers shall be at liberty to start ploughing and/or utilizing the same as they deem fit. - 4. That after the said transfer as provided in paragraph 2 (b)(ii) above, the said title certificates shall be kept in the possession of the said lawyers provided that upon payment of the

installment in $2(c)(ii)$ , one of the title certificates shall be handed over to the purchasers and the vendors shall have no further claim of interests therein".

- Court finds that as matter of fact the defendant was obliged 159. effect payment of the commitment sum of Ug Shs to $500,000,000/$ = (Five hundred million shillings) on the date of execution of the agreement which was 19^th September, 2018 and this payment was supposed to be effected at the request of the vendor vide RTGS in the names of M/s international Investment Ltd Bank Account No. 02040380023 with Bank of Africa and apparently this was not done on the agreed date. - PW1 Moses Kalangwa told court that the Plaintiff's company 160. had only paid a sum of Ug Shs $525,000,000/$ = (Five hundred twenty-five million) and according to Exhibit D3 the defendant's company paid Ug Shs $100,000,000/$ = (One hundred million) to M/s International Investment Ltd on their Bank Account No. 02040380023 with Bank of Africa and 26^th September, 2018. - Similarly, according to exhibit D4 which is the Bank 161. Statement for the defendant company for the period 18thOctober 2017 up to 31^st December, 2018 the above payment of Ug Shs

100,000,000/= (One hundred million only) is reflected together with another payment of $400,000,000/$ = (Four hundred million) to M/s International Investments Ltd on the 1^st October, 2018.

- Court therefore finds that the payment of the commitment fee 162. of Ug Shs 500,000,000/= (Five hundred million shillings) was actually not paid on the date of execution of the agreement but in two (2) installments of Ug Shs $100,000,000/$ = (One hundred million shillings) and Ug shs $400,000,000/$ = (Four hundred million shillings) on 26^th September, 2018 and 1^st October, 2018 to the Account of International Investment Ltd and although paid late. The Plaintiff company acknowledged receipt of this money. Similarly exhibit D6 for Ug Shs 25,000,000, /= (Twenty-five million) was paid on the agreed account on 4^th February, 2019. - Perhaps if the defendant/counter claimant had actually 163. provided court with all pages of the Bank Statement for the period referred to in exhibit D4 court could have been able to find some other payments effected on Bank of Africa Account No. 02040380023 in the names of International Investments Ltd if any but as the court record stands court is only satisfied with proof of payment for only Ug Shs 525, 000,000/= (Five hundred twenty

five million shillings) as made to the Plaintiff's company on the agreed bank account.

- Without prejudice to the late payment of the commitment 164. sum of Ug Shs 500,000,000/= (Five hundred million shillings) and the Ug Shs 25,000,000/= (Twenty five million shillings) paid on $4^th$ February, 2019. Court does not see any proof of payment for the balance of Ug Shs 2, 699, 756, 236/= (Two Billion Six hundred ninety-nine million seven hundred fifty-six thousand two hundred thirty-six shillings) onto Account No. 02040380023 in Bank of Africa in the names of M/s International Investments Ltd. - Court finds that on the 18^th February, 2021 Counsel for the 165. Plaintiff company made a formal demand for the balance of Ug Shs $2,724,756,236/$ = (Two billion seven hundred twenty four million seven hundred fifty six thousand two hundred thirty six shillings) as shown in exhibit P5 and the response to this formal demand from M/s Muziransa Associated Advocates & Solicitors dated 26^th February, 2021 exhibit P6 whose gist was that the Plaintiff Attorney Hajji Ssemakula Haruna Kayizzi was in the best position to answer this demand as the transaction had been concluded with him.

- Court has seen the arguments by Counsel for the 166. defendant/counterclaimant that the power of attorney Exhibit P3 authorized the attorney Hajji Ssemakula Haruna Kayizzi to receive payment of the balance on behalf of the Plaintiff's company but upon careful perusal of Exhibit P3 Court does not find any clause authorizing the attorney to receive any such payments. - In the final result therefore Court finds that the defendant 167. breached the sale agreement when they purported to effect payment of the balance of the purchase price contrary to the agreed mode of using RTGS on Account No. 02040380023 in the names of M/s International Investments Ltd and the second issue is hereby answered in the affirmative with regards to the defendant's failure to pay the balance of the price to the Plaintiff as agreed in the sales agreement. - However, the issues raised by the defendant in the counter 168. claim to the effect that the defendant counter claimant actually paid the Plaintiff's Attorney Ug Shs 2, 996, 000,000/= (Two billion nine hundred ninety six million shillings) and only received 630 acres of land is also better resolved under this issue.

Court has already found that clause 2 of the agreement of sale 169. was very clear as to whom the price was to be paid and this was M/s International Investments Ltd on their Account No. 02040380023 with Bank of Africa and indeed according to exhibit D3, D4 and D6 the defendant/Counter claimant honored this part of the agreement for a sum of Ug Shs 525,000,000/= (Five hundred twenty five million shillings).

- Court has careful perused the Power of Attorney exhibit P3 170. and also a memorandum of understating dated 19^th September, 2018 exhibit P4 and observes that the defendant/counter claimant was not privy to these documents and therefore Court is left wondering what communication could have influenced the defendant/counter claimant to deviate from the agreed mode of payment in clause 2 and opt to pay the attorney if at all they did SO. - Court has studied exhibit D4 and found a payment of Ug Shs 171. 100,000,000/= (One hundred million shillings) effected to Hajji 31^st October, 2018 but Haruna Ssemakula Kayizzi on unfortunately this is not accompanied with details of what this payment was meant for but yet exhibit D5 shows that this

payment was made to Tropical Bank and still the purpose of the payment cannot be ascertained.

- Counsel found several other similar payments from exhibit 172. D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13, D16, D17, D18, D19, D20, D21, D22, D23, D24, D25 all from the defendant's company in favour of the Plaintiff's Attorney but unfortunately the purpose for which these payments was made is not indicated. Its only exhibits D14 and D15 which are payment vouchers authorized by a one Akash Doberia which indicate that these were payments in respect of land at Block 153 Plots 1 and 2 Kayunga and the size of the land is expressly mentioned as 2,480 acres of land at Kayunga. - Court also found other payment vouchers/deposit slips 173. exhibit D29 to D59 made in favour of the Plaintiff's attorney but in these vouchers/deposit slips M/s Modern Laminates Ltd was the one effecting payments and the purpose is well explained in these vouchers. - Court finds that with the exception of exhibits D14 and D15 174. whose purpose was well stated in these payment vouchers the other payment vouchers do not have their purposes properly described and without prejudice to this finding Court is left

wondering why exhibits D14 and D15 were not effected in accordance with the terms of the sale agreement as was done with the 525, $000,000/$ = (Five hundred twenty five million shillings) all paid to the designated Bank Account in Bank of Africa.

Court finds that if payment of the price had been affected in 175. accordance with the terms of the sale agreement all issues to do with squatters and other Mailo interest would not have arisen but the moment of the defendant/counter claimant opted to breach the most important clauses of the agreement relating to the payment of the price then enforcement of the sale agreement became practically impossible for the plaintiff and more so now that the defendant/counter claimant is the registered proprietor of all the 2, 480 acres of land this complicates matters even more. Court also finds the defendant/counter claimants reason for 176. not effecting full payment of price as failure to get vacant possession as not convincing, since the defendant/counter claimant at the same time contends that they paid the balance of Ug Shs 2, 996, 000,000/= (Two billion nine hundred ninety six million shillings) to the Plaintiff's attorney but only received 630 acres of land, Court is of the view that if the defendant/ counter claimant had adhered to the mode of payment as agreed upon all these issues/excuses would not have arisen as the Plaintiff would have been obliged to compensate the squatters and also clear any other encumbrances if any.

- In the final analysis Court finds that the defendant/Counter 177. claimants breach of the agreement regarding mode of the payment of the price was the primary cause of all the fresh claims raised by the defendant/counter claimant and the Plaintiff cannot be blamed for not paying off squatters after receiving only Ug Shs 525, 000,000/= (Five hundred twenty five million shillings) which was commitment fee and similarly, the Plaintiff could not clear the claims on the Plot 1 without payment for this purpose. - Court finds that the defendant/counter claimant cannot 178. prove breach of agreement where it was their own conduct of failure to pay the price as agreed that led to the current state of affairs and since the defendant/counter claimant is the current registered proprietor of the suit land they are in a better position to handle squatters and other claims with assistance from the Plaintiff where possible. In the final result the defendant/ counter claimant failed to 179. prove any breach of agreement on the part of the Plaintiff in this case.

## Whether the 2^nd counter Defendant received payments on behalf of the Plaintiff in relation to this property and how much?

- Court in resolving the second issue delved into this issue of 180. payments to the 2^nd Counter Defendant and categorically stated that exhibits D14 and D15 clearly indicated that the 2^nd counter defendant received a total of Ug Shs $500,000,000/$ = (Five hundred million shillings) on 4^th and 5^th February, 2020 and according to the payment voucher these were payments to Hajji Ssemakula Haruna Kayizzi against land payment Katongole Group Ltd 2, 480 acres (Kayunga) Block 153 Plot No. 1, 2 as per instructions of Milariblain & Akashbhali the voucher was prepared by Ritesh Jain and authorized by Akash Dobaria. - As found earlier the agreed mode of payment according to the 181. agreement of sale was vide RTGS on the Account of M/s International Investments Ltd No. 02040380023 with Bank of Africa and Court has not found any evidence to suggest that the

Plaintiff Company authorized the $2^{nd}$ counter defendant to receive any payment on its behalf and therefore this payment of Ug Shs $500,000,000/$ = (Five hundred million shillings) or even the alleged Ug Shs 2, 996, 000,000/= (Two billion nine hundred ninety six million shillings). If at all these payments were made to the $2^{nd}$ Counter defendant these were not authorized by the Plaintiff company.

- Court believes the evidence of the 2^nd defendant to the effect 182. that he had an arrangement with the counter claimant as their operations manager for Kayunga as indeed the company secretary Akesh Doberia is the one who authorized payments of Ug Shs $500,000,000/$ = (Five hundred million shillings) in exhibit D14 and D15. - Court finds the issue of who was to receive payments in this 183. case is settled as this was M/s International Investments Ltd and not the $2^{nd}$ counter defendant and the $3^{rd}$ issue is accordingly resolved in the negative.

## Issue 4

Whether the $2^{nd}$ defendant ever lawfully acted as operations/estates manager of the defendant and is so how much money did he receive in that capacity and for what purpose.

- While resolving the 2^nd and 3^rd issues Court found that the 184. issue the purpose of the various payments made to the $2^{nd}$ Counter defendant by the Counter claimant is not clear as so many cash deposit slip were tendered in as evidence as Exhibit D5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 from the defendant/counter claimant to the 2^nd counter defendant but the purpose of these payments is not ascertainable from those cash deposit slips and it would be unsafe for Court to attach any purpose to them. - Similarly, exhibits D29, D30, D31, D32, D33, D34, D35, D36, 185. D37, D38, D39, D40, D41, D42, D43, D44, D45, D46, D47, D48, D49, D50, D51, D52, D53, D54, D55, D56, D57, D58, D59 are all payments from M/s Modern Laminates Ltd is not privy to the agreement of sale between M/s Katongole International Group Ltd and M/s Modern Agri Infra Ltd and therefore it would be futile for Court to attach any meaning to these exhibits D29-59.

- Court also finds that the fact all these payments to Hajji 186. Ssemakula Haruna Kayizzi were authorized by the same person Mr. Akash Doberia and the contents of exhibit D28 which is a letter dated 23^rd January, 2020 of Ref: MAIL/GEN/02/2019-2020 from M/s Modern Agri Infra Ltd addressed to M/s Waymo Advocates Introducing Hajji Ssemakula Haruna Kayizzi as the operational and estates Manager for the modern Agri Infra Ltd in Kayunga District are believable and offer an explanation as to why the defendant/counter claimant could spend all such sums of money on the $2^nd$ counter defendant without any authority from the Plaintiff company. - This issue is answered in the affirmative as regards the 187. position of the $2^{nd}$ counter defendant designation with the Counter claimant and for the amount of money received and for what purpose Court finds this issue vague as the various deposit slips do not indicate the purpose for which the payments were made and yet the 2^nd counter defendant filed various agreements of sale exhibits D24, 25, 26 and 27 which are not connected to the dispute between M/s Katongole International Group Ltd and M/s Modern Agri Infra Ltd but which agreements only confirm that the

$2^nd$ counter defendant had a close working relationship with the defendant/counter claimant.

## What remedies are available to the parties?

- As Court found while resolving issue number 2 that if the 188. defendant/counter claimant had paid the agreed purchase price in accordance with the agreement of sale then issues of none payment of squatters and overlapping Mailo titles over Plot 1 would not have arisen but Court found that it was the breach of the agreement by the defendant/counter claimant that led to a host of other claims which would have been avoided if the defendant/Counter claimant had paid the price in accordance with the agreement. - 189. Court therefore finds that the defendant/counter claimant was in breach of the agreement of sale when he failed to pay the balance of the agreed purchase price onto the account provided by the plaintiff. - 190. Court also finds that the defendant/ counter claimant cannot benefit from their breach of the agreement and start claiming that it was because of none compensation of squatters and other

encumbrances which were not cleared that amounted to a breach and the counter claim is hereby rejected.

- The defendant/counter claimant is hereby ordered to pay the 191. outstanding balance of Ug Shs 2, 699, 756, 236/= (Two billion six hundred ninety nine million seven hundred fifty six thousand two thirty six shillings) with interest at court rate from the date of filing this suit until payment in full. - The Plaintiff has suffered damages and loss as a result of the 192. failure to use their money and yet all their land was transferred in favour of the Defendant/Counterclaimant and Court hereby awards the Plaintiff general damages of Ug Shs 350,000,000/= (Three hundred fifty million shillings) to be paid with interest at court rate from the date of delivery of this Judgment until payment in full. - The plaintiff upon receipt of the full price decreed hereinabove 193. and Interest should endeavor where possible to assist the defendant/counter claimant who is the current registered owner of the suit land to settle the squatters but should do so cautiously given the changed status of this case.

194. The counter claim hereby fails and the serve is hereby dismissed with costs to the counter defendants.

The Plaintiff is also awarded the costs of the main suit. 195.
