High Court orders National Housing to refund buyers Shs40m and pay damages over Naalya flat sale

According to ChimpReports, Justice Patience Rubagumya of the High Court Commercial Division ruled that the state-owned National Housing and Construction Company breached a sale agreement for a Naalya apartment by cancelling it and demanding a lump-sum balance without notifying the buyers of construction milestones. The court ordered a refund of the Shs40 million deposit with interest, Shs20 million in general damages and half the costs, but declined to order handover of the flat, which had been sold to a third party. NHCC had not publicly commented, the outlet said.
