The court found that the applicant failed to establish a prima facie case or a bona fide dispute warranting a temporary injunction.

Granting the injunction would disrupt the company's operations and alter the statu…

Rajesh Kumar v Mahmood Somani (Miscellaneous Cause No. 62 of 2018) [2019] UGCommC 232 (25 January 2019)

The respondent demonstrated interest in defending the matter, and the applicant did not show that admitting the affidavit would cause injustice or preju…

Kalibbala v Kaggwa & 3 Ors (HCT-00-CV-MISC Appeal- 09 -2015) [2016] UGHCCD 45 (19 May 2016)
The court found that the interim order issued by the Deputy Registrar affected both the appellant and Chainlink Technology Ltd, a separate legal entity. The Deputy Registrar erred by failing to consider the preliminary objection regarding the company's right to legal representation and fair hearing. The freezing of the company's bank account without hearing its side of the story was unjust and unfair, as it could cripple the company as a going concern. The principles of natural justice and proper procedure under Order 41 Rule 3 of the Civil Procedure Rules were not observed. Consequently, the…

The issues raised by the applicant were substantive and required a full trial on the merits, not summary determination at the interlocutory stage. The balance of convenience favor…
