Courts of law should not without good reason delay a successful party from enjoying the fruits of his or her judgment. On the other hand a party who is unsuccessful or dissatisfied with the decree of court has discretion to apply for corrective measures without unreasonable delay. \par \par In the instant case the Applicant instituted his claim No. 79 of 2004 in Luwero District Land Tribunal and the tribunal ruled against him in May 2006. Under the Land Tribunal Regulations, the Applicant was required to appeal within sixty }{ \insrsid15875398\charrsid3033368 days but he decided to sit on his rights for almost one year when he decided to apply for leave to appeal out of time. In my view that constituted unreasonable delay and the common sense I can derive from it is that he had lost interest in the claim and that leave to appeal out of time could have been a mere afterthought. \par \par As far as substantial loss is concerned, the burden is on the Applicant to show that his appeal has real prospects of success and tha}{\insrsid11671622\charrsid3033368 t if stay is not granted he would}{\insrsid15875398\charrsid3033368 suffer substantial loss. \par \par In the first place the Applicant has not shown how his application for leave to appeal out of time has prospects of success. The Applicant\rquote s affidavit falls short of explaining why he failed to take the necessary steps at the right time. Secondly there was no evid}{\insrsid10960856\charrsid3033368 ence to show that his appeal had}{\insrsid15875398\charrsid3033368 some prospects of success. There was submission from the bar that the Applicant was in actual possession of the land and that }{\insrsid10960856\charrsid3033368 he }{\insrsid15875398\charrsid3033368 had developed the same with pineapple plantation under NAADS programme and that he has a socio-cultural attachment to the land. However, the law is that submissions from the bar does not constitute evidence. In the above submission is to be bel ieved then this court would also believe the submission by the Respondent\rquote s Counsel that the appeal is not likely to succeed because the Applicant also signed as a witness on the Sale Agreement passing the suit property onto the Respondent as per evidence on record. Balancing the circumstances of this case the only conclusion I can draw is that the Applicant has failed to show that his application is genuine and it is accordingly dismissed with costs.
