Mpumwire and 7 Others v Mbarara University of Science and Technology (Labour Dispute Reference 1 of 2022) [2025] UGIC 13 (27 January 2025)
The court found that the reduction of the Claimants' salaries was procedurally unfair because it was implemented without notice or consent, violating statutory requirements under the Employment Act. However, the reduction was substantively justified as the Respondent was required to comply with government policy directives on salary harmonisation for public universities, issued by the Ministry of Public Service, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Education. The Respondent acted in accordance with its statutory obligations and public service pay policy. The Claimants are entitled to general…

Ssempijja vs D-Light Design Limited (Labour Dispute Reference 350 of 2019) [2025] UGIC 10 (27 January 2025)
The court found that the Respondent failed to provide evidence of the alleged fundamental breach by the Claimant and did not accord him a fair hearing prior to dismissal. Both substantive and procedural requirements for lawful termination under Ugandan law were not met. The Respondent's reliance on the sensitivity of the case did not justify bypassing the right to be heard, and no proof was adduced regarding the confidential information or the third parties involved. Consequently, the summary dismissal was both substantively and procedurally unlawful. The Claimant was entitled to remedies, in…

Attorney General v Kikwanzi (Miscellaneous Application 750 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 9 (27 January 2025)
The court found that the application was not barred by res judicata because the appellate proceedings addressed procedural matters, not the merits of the dispute. The ex parte judgment was set aside on two main grounds: mistake of counsel, as the Attorney-General's non-appearance was due to professional negligence rather than intentional default, and irregularity, since the mandatory procedure under rule 6 of the Government Proceedings (Civil Procedure) Rules was not followed—no leave was sought or granted before entering default judgment against the government. The court emphasized that stat…

Kaweesi & 2 Others v Uganda (Criminal Appeal 398 of 2019) [2025] UGCA 7 (24 January 2025)
The Court of Appeal found that the prosecution proved all elements of aggravated robbery beyond reasonable doubt. The victim's testimony regarding the administration of chloroformed food and subsequent unconsciousness was corroborated by the identification parade and the charge and caution statement of the second appellant, which detailed the roles of all accused. The court held that the confession was properly obtained, as the evidence showed the accused understood English and was cautioned. The appellate court reaffirmed that the burden of proof remained with the prosecution and that the tr…
