Our legal alert on the Dewak Limited case https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OfwimSilKYh-LGHanUgR4bJtaUQhdmRI/view?usp=drivesdk

Molly Turinawe & 4 Others vs. Eng. Ephraim Turinawe & Dewark Ltd, SCCA No. 10 of 2018. Judgment delivered today. We acted for the 2nd Respondent.

Legal insights from the Judgment:

1. Mere registration on the title is not conclusive proof of ownership. The circumstances of the transfer of the property will have to be investigated as the justice of the case demands.

2. A resulting trust is created on land even though the land may be registered in another's name, for as long as the consideration for the purchase of the land was made by the person not named on the title as proprietor.

3. Merely being someone's spouse is not sufficient to create an interest in land. The land must be owned by the person named as proprietor and the family of that person must be deriving sustainance (income) from the land

4. Rented property is not and does not qualify as family property within the meaning of section 39 of the Land Act
