Ezati v Maracha District Local Government

Ezati v Maracha District Local Government (Civil Appeal 10 of 2021) [2024] UGHC 996 (4 October 2024)

The court found that the Chief Administrative Officer's decision to interdict the Applicant was unlawful, irrational, and procedurally improper. The interdiction was based on minor criminal charges unrelated to the Applicant's employment, and the Applicant was not afforded an opportunity to respond or exhaust internal remedies. The decision-making process failed to comply with the requirements of natural justice and the relevant Public Service Standing Orders. The court exercised its discretion to grant judicial review, quash the interdiction, restore the Applicant to his position, and award…

Barugahare v Kenyi & Anor (HCT-01-CS-CA-067 OF 2016)

Barugahare v Kenyi & Anor (HCT-01-CS-CA-067 OF 2016) [2017] UGHCLD 238 (31 October 2017)

The court held that while the failure to extract a formal decree before filing an appeal is a curable technicality and does not render the appeal incompetent, the substantive dispute between the appellant and respondents, being members of a cooperative society, falls squarely within the ambit of the Co-Operative Societies Act. The Act mandates that such disputes must first be referred to arbitration, and only after exhaustion of the internal mechanisms, including appeal to the board, can the matter be brought before the courts. The High Court emphasized that it cannot exercise original jurisd…
