Lubega, J
The court found that service of summons in Civil Suit No. 034 of 2024 was not effected on the applicants in person nor through a recognized agent as required by Order 5 Rule 10 and Order 3 Rule 2 of the Civil Procedure Rules. The process server left the summons with the chairperson LCI of Mbale Central Market, who did not qualify as a recognized agent empowered to accept service. The law mandates personal service or service through an authorized agent, and speculative assumptions about receipt of summons are insufficient. Since no application for extension of time to serve the summons was mad…

The reliefs sought in both matters are not directly or su…

The respondent's evidence of reconciliation and the applicant's admissions were uncontested. The applicant's conduct, i…
