Mpungu v Uhuru & 3 Others (Civil Suit 12 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 45 (26 February 2025)
The court found that the 1st respondent's decision to remove the applicant from the position of Deputy Mayor was tainted by improper motives, personal animosity, and was not supported by lawful authority or due process. The decision was rescinded prior to the filing of the judicial review application, and the applicant remained in office with full rights. The constitution of the tribunal to investigate the applicant was found to be infected with improper motives and not based on sufficient legal grounds, as the allegations against the applicant were vague and unsupported by conviction. The co…

Nsamba v The Registered Trustees of the Federation of Motorsport Clubs of Uganda (FMU) & 4 Others (Miscellaneous Application 18 of 2024; Miscellaneous Application 296 of 2023; Miscellaneous Application 39 of 2024; Miscellaneous Application 67 of 2024) [2024] UGHCCD 122 (8 July 2024)
The court found that the FMU-UG constitution vests the power to convene an Extraordinary General Assembly exclusively in the management committee, not the executive committee. The executive committee's decision to convene the EOGA and issue the notice was therefore illegal and ultra vires. The court held that the applicant had sufficient interest to bring the application and that the matter was amenable to judicial review, as the decisions of FMU-UG had significant public impact. The court rejected the respondents' objections regarding locus standi and non-exhaustion of local remedies, noting…

Sande Akuzewo v Jinja Municipal Council (Misc Cause 6 of 2020) [2023] UGHC 221 (1 September 2023)
The court found that the Town Clerk's decision to halt the applicant's construction works without affording her a fair hearing was procedurally improper and violated her right to fair administrative treatment under Article 42 of the Constitution. The court emphasized that judicial review is concerned with the lawfulness of the decision-making process, not the merits of the decision. The respondent's arguments regarding breach of contract and lack of permits were found to be matters of private law, not relevant to the administrative law issues at hand. The court held that the applicant was ent…

Urban Living Limited v Kampala Capital City Authority and Another (Misc Cause 29 of 2022) [2023] UGHCCD 211 (11 July 2023)
The court held that the Applicant failed to exhaust the administrative remedies provided under the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act, 2003 as amended, specifically the requirement to seek review by the Accounting Officer and, if necessary, the Tribunal before approaching the High Court. Rule 7A(1)(b) of the Judicature (Judicial Review) (Amendment) Rules, 2019 mandates that judicial review is only available after such remedies are exhausted. The Applicant did not provide a satisfactory explanation for bypassing these statutory procedures. Consequently, the application was fo…
