CRJE (East Africa) Limited v National Council for Higher Education (Application 48 of 2024) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 1 (9 January 2025)
The Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the application because the subject matter was already pending before the High Court, a superior court, and the reliefs sought were substantially the same. The Tribunal held that once it rendered its decision in Application No. 27 of 2024, it became functus officio and could not revisit the matter except for clerical corrections.

Kisembo v Kasasira & 6 Others (Miscellaneous Cause 1 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 32 (8 January 2025)
The application was dismissed for lack of a cause of action.

No evidence was presented to show that the 2nd Respondent was the legally mandated appointing authority or that the Applicant’s rights were violated by an act of legal mandate.
