Hassan & Another vKirabira & 2 Others (Civil Suit 343 of 2023) [2025] UGHCFD 4 (30 January 2025)

Namuyanja & 3 Others v Uganda (Criminal Revision 4 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCRD 2 (30 January 2025)
The High Court quashed a lower-court plea bargain, finding major procedural defects, lack of interpretation, and a violation of the applicants’ fair-hearing rights.
Stryker Tactical Ltd v Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (Civil Suit No. 1051 of 2023) [2025] UGCommC 81 (30 January 2025)
The court found that no valid contract existed between the parties at the time of supply, as required by the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act and its Regulations. The Plaintiff supplied goods before a formal contract or Local Purchase Order was issued, and thus the transaction did not meet statutory requirements for contract formation in public procurement. Despite this, the Defendant utilized the goods and subsequently paid the principal sum after suit was filed. The court declined to award interest on the paid sum, finding no contractual basis, but awarded general damage…

Muluta v Kalungi (Civil Application 483 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 17 (30 January 2025)
The Court of Appeal of Uganda dismissed an application for stay of execution pending appeal, finding the applicant had not shown likelihood of success, irreparable harm, or a basis for relief.
Uganda v Musasizi & 4 Others (Criminal Session 406 of 2022) [2025] UGHC 42 (30 January 2025)
The court found that the prosecution proved the death of the deceased, its unlawful causation, and malice aforethought through the postmortem report indicating closed head injury due to blunt trauma. Participation was established only for Musasizi Gaston (A1) based on circumstantial evidence, specifically the sniffer dog trailing the scent from the crime scene to his home and reacting to him, which placed him at the scene and was incompatible with innocence. The evidence against A2-A5 was insufficient, as no direct or circumstantial evidence proved their participation beyond reasonable doubt.…

Karanzi v Kampala International University (Labour Dispute Claim 5 of 2022) [2025] UGIC 6 (30 January 2025)
The court found that the respondent failed to accord the claimant procedural fairness, as the invitation to the disciplinary hearing was not properly served, did not provide sufficient time to prepare a defence, lacked adequate particulars of the allegations, and did not explain the claimant's rights at the hearing. The respondent also failed to follow its own internal disciplinary procedures. Substantively, the court held that the allegations of professional misconduct and academic dishonesty were not proven to a reasonable standard, as the disciplinary hearing minutes did not provide suffic…

Nzeyi v Menna (Civil Application 544 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 21 (29 January 2025)
The court found that while the applicant established a prima facie case by raising triable issues in the appeal, he failed to demonstrate that he would suffer irreparable damage or that the appeal would be rendered nugatory if a stay of execution was not granted. The respondent, as the judgment creditor, would be able to refund the monies if the appeal succeeded, and the applicant retained alternative remedies, including the possibility of taking the shares in question. The court further held that the balance of convenience favored the respondent, who should not be deprived of the fruits of h…

Ntwatwa v Bank of Baroda & Another (Civil Application 52 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 25 (29 January 2025)
The Court of Appeal dismissed an application for stay of execution after finding the notice of appeal was filed out of time and therefore incompetent.
Ankole Riverline Hotel Limited & Another v Orient Bank Limited & Another (Civil Application 1214 of 2023) [2025] UGCA 20 (29 January 2025)
The Court of Appeal dismissed an application for stay of execution after finding the notice of appeal was filed out of time and had not been validated.
Kategaya v Sebaliga & 2 Others (Civil Application 449 of 2024) [2025] UGCA 28 (29 January 2025)
The Court found that the applicant, instead of complying with the High Court's order in Civil Suit No.634 of 2007, resorted to filing multiple applications in both the High Court and Court of Appeal, which amounted to forum shopping and abuse of court process. The applicant had previously been granted a stay of execution by consent in the High Court but failed to comply with its terms and did not seek review or appeal of those terms. The Court emphasized that judicial orders must be obeyed unless set aside or varied, and attempts to circumvent them through repeated applications undermine the…
