Upon the Respondent's clear and unambiguous admission of liability for UGX 2,750,000/=, and the Claimant's confirmation that this sum would fully address his claim, the Court is bound to enter judgment for the admitted amount. The Court further exercised its discretion under the Labour Disputes (Arbitration and Settlement) Amendment Act, 2020 to award the Claimant an additional UGX 250,000/= as compensation. However, since the Respondent acted to resolve the matter promptly and was not guilty of misconduct, costs were not awarded, and each party was ordered to bear its own costs.
