Katetegirwe v Attorney General and Another (Miscellaneous Application No. 169 of 2020) [2022] UGHCCD 66 (21 April 2022)
The court found that the Consent Order of 28th October 2016 expressly waived a specific sum of UGX 1,180,773,616 as interest, but did not waive all interest or vary the terms of the Consent Judgment and Decree of 18th August 2015.

Upon detailed calculation, the court determined that the Respondents had fully paid the entire d…

The Supreme Court found that the operative contract between the parties was Exh. D1, not Exh. D7, which was merely a demand letter following default. The appellant had not fully discharged its contractual obligations under the overdraft facility, as it failed to pay unapplied interest that accrued in accordance with Bank of Uganda regulations.

Sugar Corporation Of Uganda Limited v Kanoblic Group Of Companies Limited (Miscellaneous Application 653 of 1996) [1997] UGHC 15 (26 February 1997)
The court found that the arbitration award expressly provided for interest at the rate of 30% per annum but did not specify that such interest should be compounded.

The total decretal amount and simple interest had already been paid to the respondent/judgment creditor from the security deposited into court, resulting in an excess payment. The respondent is not entitled to compound interest, and any excess paid m…
