Civil Procedure [2025] UGHCCD 86

Naomi Karugaba v Ronnie Rogers Amone and Ojwiya O. Nelson

Naomi Karugaba v Ronnie Rogers Amone and Ojwiya O. Nelson (Tax Reference No. 1 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 86 (1 July 2025)

Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
Tax Reference No. 1 of 2024
Judge
Simon Peter M. Kinobe, J

The court found that the taxing master generally exercised discretion judiciously and applied the relevant regulations in assessing the bill of costs. However, the instruction fees allowed exceeded the prescribed scale for the subject matter value, and the sum allowed for photocopying under item 10 was duplicative. The court revised the instruction fees to UGX 10,460,000 in line with the 6th schedule and taxed off the UGX 500,000 allowed for photocopying, resulting in a revised total bill of UGX 27,024,200. The court maintained the amounts allowed for transport as reasonable and declined to i…

Civil Procedure [2025] UGHC 162

Muwawu and Another v Sserwanga

Muwawu and Another v Sserwanga (Civil Appeal 22 of 2022) [2025] UGHC 162 (8 April 2025)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Appeal 22 of 2022
Judge
Godfrey Himbaza, J

The court found that the taxing officer applied wrong principles in awarding manifestly excessive costs to the respondent, particularly for advocate fees and transport, without sufficient evidence or overt involvement of advocates on record. The appeal, though filed out of time, was validated as the appellants were not served with the taxation hearing notice and only became aware of the taxation upon issuance of a warrant of arrest. The affidavit in support of the Chamber Summons, sworn by counsel without express authority from the appellants, was struck out as defective. Applying principles…

Ssemakula v Kibuuka (Taxation Appeal No. 3 of 2022) [2022] UGHCLD 212 (4 November 2022)

Court
HC: Land Division (Uganda)
Case number
Taxation Appeal No. 3 of 2022
Judge
Kazaarwe, J

The court found that the Taxing Officer awarded instruction fees and other items in excess of the amounts prescribed by the Advocates (Remuneration & Taxation of Costs) Regulations. The subject matter was vaguely estimated above UGX 20,000,000, but the court determined that the precise estimate should be UGX 20,000,000, and applied the scale in item 1(d) of the Sixth Schedule, resulting in a revised instruction fee of UGX 2,320,000. Other items were similarly revised to align with the prescribed amounts. The court held that the award of UGX 6,790,000 was manifestly excessive and not in accord…
