Katuramu v Agri-Industrial Management Agency Limited (DR. MFP. 11 OF 1998) [1999] UGHC 47 (17 August 1999)
The court found that the plaintiff was retired due to misconduct involving a company vehicle, not as a result of redundancy. Redundancy requires a reduction in the employer's need for employees, which was not the case here. The presumption that dismissal was by reason of redundancy was rebutted by evidence of misconduct. Even if management had agreed to pay redundancy benefits, such a decision was gratuitous and not supported by consideration, thus conferring no enforceable right to the plaintiff. The claim for redundancy pay was therefore dismissed.
