Ndaula and Another v PostBank Uganda Limited (Labour Dispute Reference 161 of 2022) [2025] UGIC 2 (16 January 2025)
The court found that while the Respondent had the right to restructure and declare redundancies, it failed to comply with the mandatory procedural requirements under Section 80 of the Employment Act. Specifically, there was no admissible evidence that the Labour Commissioner was notified in writing within the statutory period, and the Claimants were not given proper written notice of impending redundancy. The purported redundancy notices were in fact termination letters, and the consultative process was neither transparent nor objective. The Respondent's reliance on virtual 'town hall' meetin…

Oyam District Local Government v Aluku (Revision Application 43 of 2021) [2025] UGHC 14 (16 January 2025)
The High Court found that the applicant failed to adduce any evidence of the legal existence or registration of Wilobo Pe Ongeo cooperative society, which is a prerequisite for joinder as a party under Order 1 rule 10 (2) of the Civil Procedure Rules. The trial magistrate's refusal to add the society as co-defendant was therefore proper, as a non-existent entity cannot be joined to proceedings. The court further held that service of the revision application letter, though not strictly proved by affidavit, was effected and any technical defect was curable under article 126 (2) (e) of the Const…

Weyombo v Warere (Miscellaneous Application 82 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 5 (15 January 2025)
The court found that the Applicant's denial of indebtedness and claim of illiteracy, coupled with the assertion that the acknowledgment forming the basis of the Respondent's claim was not known to him and executed in a language he does not understand, raised a bona fide triable issue. The Respondent failed to challenge the Applicant's literacy status through cross-examination, leaving the Applicant's assertions untested. Applying the principles under Order 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules and relevant case law, the court held that the Applicant had disclosed sufficient grounds for unconditiona…

Wamanga & Another v Ballon Ventures Limited & Another (Miscellaneous Application 434 of 2023) [2025] UGHC 6 (15 January 2025)
The court found that the applicants failed to disclose any compelling grounds for the grant of leave to appeal. The omission of the registrar's signature and seal on the written statement of defence was attributed to counsel's error, which should not prejudice the litigants; amendment to cure the defect was permitted. The striking out of the counterclaim for being filed out of time did not entitle the applicants to costs, as awarding costs for an illegality is inappropriate and the matter is within the court's discretion. The court concluded that no arguable grounds or reasonable prospects of…
