Gibb (PTY) Limited in Joint Venture with Acmirs consulting Limited v Ministry of Works and Transport and Another (Application No. 16 of 2025) [2025] UGPPDPAAT 19 (17 July 2025)
The Tribunal found that the Respondents erred in law by disqualifying the Applicant's bid for non-submission of registered joint venture powers of attorney, as such eligibility documents, if valid at the bid submission deadline, should have been requested through clarification in accordance with the procurement regulations. The Tribunal also determined that there was no mandatory requirement in the bidding documents for submission of tax clearance certificates at the time of bid submission; eligibility declarations in the technical proposal sufficed. The Respondents' failure to apply the corr…

Mss Xsabo Power Ltd v Uganda Registration Services Bureau & Registrar General/ Official Receiver (Miscellaneous Cause 4 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 550 (15 July 2025)
The court found that the Registrar General acted ultra vires in recalling the Assistant Registrar's ruling in Company Petition No. 5 of 2020, as Section 258(4) of the Companies Act does not confer such power. The functus officio doctrine applied, preventing the Registrar General from revisiting or nullifying the Assistant Registrar's decision once delivered. The process leading to the second ruling was illegal, irrational, and procedurally improper, particularly as it was delivered during the pendency of an injunctive order maintaining the status quo and without proper notification or hearing…

The Tribunal determined that the last permissible day for filing was June 16, 2025, as June 15, 2025, fell on a Sunday. The Applicant filed its applica…

M/S Rema (U) Ltd v Butebo District Local Government and Others (Civil Suit No. 5 of 2022) [2025] UGHC 485 (9 July 2025)
The court held that the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act establishes a mandatory administrative review process for procurement disputes, requiring aggrieved bidders to first seek redress from the Accounting Officer, then the PPDA Authority, and finally the PPDA Tribunal. Only after exhausting these remedies may a party appeal to the High Court. The plaintiff, having only complained to the Accounting Officer and not pursued further administrative remedies, prematurely filed suit in the High Court. The court found that Parliament intended procurement matters to be addressed…

XYZ v Republic of Benin (Application No. 058/2019) [2025] AfCHPR 22 (26 June 2025)
The Court found that the applicant did not exhaust available local judicial remedies, specifically a constitutional challenge before the Constitutional Court of Benin, prior to filing the application. The applicant's arguments regarding persecution, lack of judicial independence, and the effect of a prior constitutional challenge by another citizen were dismissed for lack of evidence and legal merit. The Court reiterated that the requirement to exhaust local remedies is assessed at the time the application is lodged, and subsequent developments do not absolve the applicant of this obligation.…
