Kampala.
Supreme Court Judge Esther Kisaakye has sued the former mistress of her husband in the High Court civil division for failure to respect a court order that restrained her from publishing anything in the media about her.
In her claim, the judge states that on July 15, 2013, the deputy registrar issued an interim injunction restraining her husband’s mistress, Ms Sarah Kadama, from publishing or causing further publication of defamatory articles against her.
However, the judge contends that on June 20, 2014, Ms Kadama in blatant violation of the temporary injunction authored a complaint letter addressed to the Secretary Judicial Service wherein she uttered further defamatory statements against her. In the letter she claimed that “she was innocent and only fighting for her rights particularly the property which was being taken away from her by me”.
“Ms Kadama has continued to blatantly violate the temporary injunction order on several occasions by publishing articles against me in the newspapers and if court does not intervene by holding her in contempt, she will continue to daringly flout the court orders with impunity,” The judge stated.
Justice Kisaakye also claims that on February 25, 2016, when the hearing of her defamation case against Kadama and her came up, some journalists came to court in the course at her invitation and started taking notes with the intention of publishing more detrimental stories.
Ruling
According to the court documents the judge states that on April 4, 2016, in a judgment delivered by the High Court Land Division , Justice Wilson Kwesiga ruled in her favour reaffirming that Kadama has never been married to her husband and that she never contributed to the purchase development of the property at Lukuli, Makindye, which property is registered in her name.
In his judgment, Justice Kwesiga said there was no evidence to show that Mr Kitimbo and Ms Kadama were lawfully married in order for the latter to claim a share of the property worth Shs350m in Lukuli, Makindye Division, in Kampala.
The judge also ordered Ms Kadama to pay Justice Kisaakye Shs29m which she appealed against.
