The High Court has ordered Senana Investments Limited and its proprietor, Ms Farida Nabirongo to pay more than Shs100 million to a property firm as damages for breach of contract.
"This court has found that there is a binding contract between the plaintiff (GKO Medicines) and the first (Senana Investments Limited) and second (Ms Nabirongo) defendants," the judge said.
In April 2013, GKO Medicines Limited sued Senana Investments Limited and its proprietor Ms Nabirongo jointly with General Motors Limited for recovery of Shs100 million and general damages for breach of contract.
Court records show that while vacating the premises, GKO medicines Limited entered an oral contract with Senana Investments and Ms Nabirongo for purchase of the suit property being the new tenants but then refused to pay as agreed.
"It is an established fact that Senana Investments and Ms Nabirongo did not pay the plaintiff (GKO Medicines Limited) for the said suit property as agreed and thus there was breach of contract," ruled Justice Alividza adding that when the accused parties took over the tenancy of the building, they took possession of the suit property.
