Sino (U) Fisheries Joint Venture Co.Ltd v Uganda Fisheries Enterprises Ltd (HC. MISC. APPL. NO.23 OF 1993) [2018] UGHCCD 37 (13 August 2018)

Court

HC: Civil Division (Uganda)

Case number

HC. MISC. APPL. NO.23 OF 1993

Judge

Kato, J

The court found that there was no formal order made by the District Registrar that could be appealed against within the meaning of section 2 of the Civil Procedure Act. The memo relied upon by the appellant was not an order but an administrative note, and legal matters must be dealt with in an accepted form. The appeal was therefore incompetent and was struck out. The appellant was advised to pursue his original claim through proper legal channels, as the appeal had no bearing on the main suit.
