Alia owns a large piece of land in Kololo where she developed an amusement park with gardens and machinery which causes heavy vibrations when in use. Alia uses large volumes of cow dung as fertiliser for her gardens. She has been encouraged to use this fertiliser by the Kololo Local Council's recycling officer, who is keen to stop waste material going to landfill sites (something which is driven by a need to comply with an East African Community Directive). The smell of the cow dung makes Alia's neighbour, Sarah physically sick.

Kasumba's house which is occupied by him and members of his family is next to Alia's property. Last week, Mary, his wife was injured by the toilet cistern that fell on her head because of vibrations from machinery on Alia's property.

Cheap Buy supermarket owns land on which it has built a huge two-storey metal framed car park for its customers. Last month, after extremely stormy weather with strong winds and heavy rain, the top level of the car park collapsed, some of the metal railing broke free and fell onto the neighbouring premises, a petrol station owned by Quick-Pumps. The impact damaged the pumps and injured Jamal, one of Quick-Pumps' customers. Furthermore, water that had collected on the upper level of the car park due to an inadequate drainage system poured onto Quick-Pumps, flooding the forecourt of the petrol station. The petrol station closed down for 5 days causing a substantial loss of customers and loss of profits to the tune of UGX 10,000,000/=. Quick-Pumps spent UGX 20,000,000 to repair the pumps and clean up the forecourt.
