Holding

The plaintiff's suit is res judicata and is struck out with costs to the defendants.

Facts

The plaintiff and defendants are in dispute over land parcel LR. No. BUNYALA/BUKOMA/2135. The plaintiff claims the defendants are trespassing on his land, while the defendants argue the plaintiff's suit is res judicata due to a previous judgment in a different case.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff's suit is res judicata
  2. Whether the plaintiff's claim for trespass is valid

Reasoning

The court finds the plaintiff's suit is res judicata as it is based on the same parties, identical title/claim, and finality of the previous decision in the previous case.

Outcome

The plaintiff's suit is struck out with costs to the defendants.

Orders

  • The plaintiff's suit is struck out with costs to the defendants.
