Mbabazi v Church of Uganda Provincial Assembly & Another (Miscellaneous Cause 229 of 2023) [2025] UGHCCD 11 (24 January 2025)
The court found that the application for judicial review was not tenable because the Provincial Tribunal sought by the applicant had already been constituted, rendering the dispute moot. Furthermore, the respondents were not the proper parties with the statutory mandate to constitute the tribunal.

The application was dismissed with no order as to costs, as the circumstances that pr…

Nsamba v The Registered Trustees of the Federation of Motorsport Clubs of Uganda (FMU) & 4 Others (Miscellaneous Application 18 of 2024; Miscellaneous Application 296 of 2023; Miscellaneous Application 39 of 2024; Miscellaneous Application 67 of 2024) [2024] UGHCCD 122 (8 July 2024)
The court found that the FMU-UG constitution vests the power to convene an Extraordinary General Assembly exclusively in the management committee, not the executive committee. The executive committee's decision to convene the EOGA and issue the notice was therefore illegal and ultra vires. The court held that the applicant had sufficient interest to bring the application and that the matter was amenable to judicial review, as the decisions of FMU-UG had significant public impact. The court rejected the respondents' objections regarding locus standi and non-exhaustion of local remedies, noting…
