Uganda Sugar Manufacturers Association (USMA) Limited v Attorney General & 3 Others (Miscellaneous Cause 195 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 4 (20 January 2025)
The court found that the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Co-operatives (MTIC) failed to perform its statutory duty by not constituting the Uganda Sugar Board (USB) as required under the Sugar Act. The USB is the sole authority empowered to grant sugar and jaggery mill licences. The permissions and 'letters of no objection' (LONOs) issued by MTIC and the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) to CN Sugar Limited and Shakti Sugar Limited were ultra vires, illegal, and of no legal effect. The establishment of sugar mills within a 25-kilometre radius of existing mills contravened both the National Sug…

The court found that the prosecution proved all ingredients of murder beyond reasonable doubt: the death of Agaba Owen was established through witness testimony and medical evidence; the death was caused unlawfully by suffocation due to strangulation; malice aforethought was inferred from the manner of death, the use of a cloth and belt, and the targeting of the neck, a vulnerable part of the body.

The prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that Nahabwe Chrispus died as a result of excessive hemorrhage caused by deep cut wounds, and that his death was unlawful and actuated by malice aforethought. However, there was no direct evidence linking the accused persons to the murder; circumstantial evidence and the doctrine of recent possession were insufficient to establish their participation in the killing. On the count of aggravated robbery, the prosecution proved theft of the motorcycle, use of violence, and use of a deadly weapon. The motorcycle was recovered in the possession of A1 a…

Jjunju & 4 Others v Madhivani Group Limited (Miscellaneous Application 2730 of 2024) [2025] UGHCLD 14 (20 January 2025)
The applicants, as administrators and beneficiaries of the estate of the late Yusuf Ssuuna Kiweewa, suffered a legal grievance by being deprived of their proprietary rights without being heard in Civil Suit No. 615 of 2012. Section 82 of the Civil Procedure Act grants locus standi to any aggrieved person, including non-parties, where their rights are affected. Official reports corroborate the applicants' claim to the land and raise serious allegations of fraud and illegality in the respondent's acquisition and conversion of the land. The denial of an opportunity to be heard constitutes suffic…
