Holding

The motion is dismissed. An order of inhibition is issued to prevent any dealing with the suit land until the minors become of age.

Facts

The applicant, HMO, holds a title deed to land parcel No Bukhayo/Nasewa/xxxx in trust for minors NA, LP, SJ, and MF. He seeks to amend the title to remove the minors' names and dispose of the land to cater for their best interests.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant is entitled to amend the title deed to remove the minors' names
  2. Whether the applicant is entitled to dispose of the land to cater for the minors' best interests

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant has other parcels of land in his sole names and could easily dispose of them to meet his business needs, thus the disposal of the suit land is not in the best interest of the minors.

Outcome

The motion is dismissed.
