Butemba Dairy Cooperative Society & 3 Others v The Registrar of Cooperatives & 4 Others (Miscellaneous Cause 1 of 2024) [2024] UGHC 1017 (25 October 2024)

Court

High Court of Uganda

Case number

Miscellaneous Cause 1 of 2024

Judge

Karemani Jamson K, J

The court found that while the applicants could be entertained without a board resolution due to the peculiar circumstances preventing them from obtaining one, the application was time-barred as it was filed well outside the three-month period prescribed for judicial review applications. No leave for extension was sought, and the orders sought were in substance judicial review remedies. The objection on limitation was sustained, and the application was dismissed with costs.
