SR Afrochicks and Breeders Limited v Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (Application 7 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 10 (4 March 2025)
The Tribunal found that the Respondent's Accounting Officer failed to make and communicate a decision within the statutory 10-day period, rendering the decision invalid. However, upon merits review, the Tribunal determined that the Applicant's bid was rightfully disqualified at the preliminary stage for failure to submit mandatory eligibility documents, including a valid NSSF clearance certificate, audited books of accounts for the specified years, and evidence of access to financial resources. These omissions constituted material deviations that could not be remedied post-submission. The Tri…

Kiberu & 3 Others v Ssekito (Petition Cause 38945 of 2024) [2025] UGRSB 5 (4 March 2025)
The petitioners, holding a supermajority of shares and directorships in Bakugu Agricultural Technologies Ltd, do not qualify as minority shareholders and thus lack locus to bring a petition for minority oppression under section 243 of the Companies Act. The evidence shows that the petitioners collectively regained their majority shareholding prior to filing the petition, and the remedies sought are outside the jurisdiction of the Registrar of Companies. Allegations of prejudicial conduct and breach of director duties are matters for the High Court, not the Registrar. The petition is therefore…

Musinguzi and Another v Yahya (Miscellaneous Application 10 of 2025) [2025] UGCommC 43 (4 March 2025)
The court found that the applicants failed to prove any ground warranting the setting aside of the consent judgment. There was no evidence of misrepresentation by the respondent, as any alleged misadvice came from the applicants' own counsel and not the respondent. The applicants' mistaken belief about the debt was not shown to be known or exploited by the respondent, and any mistake was based on personal opinion rather than a palpable, factual error. Regarding limitation, the court held that part payments made by the applicants, particularly the payment on 2nd December, 2020, restarted the l…

East Africa Foam Limited v Attorney General and 2 Others (Civil Appeal 2 of 2022) [2025] UGSC 5 (3 March 2025)
The Supreme Court held that the misnaming of the appellant in the mortgage and debenture documents was a rectifiable misnomer, as the context and evidence demonstrated that all parties intended East Africa Foam Limited to be the guarantor. The Court found that the managing director was literate, based on documentary evidence, and thus the Illiterates Protection Act did not render the documents void. The loan to EFIL, though made to a non-existent company, did not absolve the appellant of liability as guarantor, as the managing director's representations estopped the appellant from denying EFI…
