General Industries (U) Limited v Z.J Hasham Fish Industries Limited & 2 Others (Civil Appeal 5 of 2019) [2021] UGSC 22 (13 October 2021)

The Supreme Court held that the appeal lacked merit on all grounds. The Court found that the matter was res judicata, having been conclusively determined in previous proceedings, and that the Court of Appeal correctly dismissed the appellant's claim.
