Court
Commercial Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Suit No. 358 of 2009

The court found that the Defendant overcharged interest on the Plaintiff’s loan account, as determined by an independent expert appointed by consent of both parties, and that the Defendant was bound by the expert’s report due to waiver and estoppel. The Plaintiff was entitled to a refund of the overcharged interest. The court held that the remortgaging expense was contractually due, as the Plaintiff had agreed to up-stamp the security and pay associated costs under the facility letter and mortgage deed. However, the court found that the Defendant’s debit of Ushs.196,693,961/= as legal costs o…

Court
Supreme Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Appeal 12 of 2002
Judge
Odoki, CJ, Oder, JSC, Tsekooko, JSC, Mulenga, JSC, Kanyeihamba, JSC

The Supreme Court found that a valid written contract of employment existed between the appellant and the respondent, evidenced by documentary and conduct-based admissions, and that the respondent's subsequent denial was not credible. The respondent, having acted as employer and fulfilled contractual obligations, was estopped from denying the contract. The appellant was legally employed, as the responsibility to obtain a work permit lay with the respondent, and any delay or omission was attributable to the respondent, not the appellant. The purported extensions of the probation period were ou…

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
CIVIL SUIT NO. 192 OF 1998
Judge
C A Okello, J

The court found that although the original plan was for the plaintiff to lend and the defendant to manage the loan, the defendant's insistence on its own terms resulted in the defendant becoming the lender and the plaintiff acting as guarantor by depositing shs. 60,000,000. The defendant assumed responsibility for documentation and management of the loan, including registration of securities. The court held that it was an express and implied term of the agreement that the defendant would manage the loan professionally and diligently. The defendant failed in this duty by disbursing the loan in…

National Insurance Corporation v Arconsults Architects (Arbitration Cause 4 of 1991) [1992] UGHC 28 (27 April 1992)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
Arbitration Cause 4 of 1991
Judge
Tsekooko, J

The court found that the arbitrator acted within his authority in considering both Fee Note 1 and Fee Note 1A, as the latter had been submitted before the arbitrator's appointment and formed part of the dispute. The applicant's conduct amounted to acceptance of the scale and mode of fees, waiving the need for formal written acceptance. The arbitrator did not exceed his mandate nor act outside the conditions of engagement for architects. The award of costs and arbitration fees was lawful under Rule 9 of the First Schedule to the Arbitration Act. No misconduct or improper procurement was establ…
