Makindye Sabagabo Municipal Council v Busenvi Enterprises Limited (Miscellaneous Application 475 of 2022) [2025] UGHCCD 99 (16 July 2025)
The court found that the Special Conditions of the Contract expressly excluded arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism, providing instead for amicable settlement followed by recourse to the courts if necessary.

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…

Pearl Dairy Farms Limited v Zhuang Shaolong T/A Good Home Supermarket (HCT-01-CV-MA-0119-2024) [2025] UGHC 540 (14 July 2025)
The Applicant has raised substantial and bona fide triable issues of law and fact, including a complete denial of any contractual relationship, alleged payments, and the authenticity of the documents relied upon by the Respondent. Serious allegations of forgery and fraud have been made, which cannot be resolved through summary procedure and require a full trial for proper determination. The Respondent's failure to file an affidavit in reply leaves the Applicant's assertions unchallenged, further strengthening the case for granting unconditional leave. Established jurisprudence dictates that w…
