Ndaula and Another v PostBank Uganda Limited (Labour Dispute Reference 161 of 2022) [2025] UGIC 2 (16 January 2025)
The court found that while the Respondent had the right to restructure and declare redundancies, it failed to comply with the mandatory procedural requirements under Section 80 of the Employment Act. Specifically, there was no admissible evidence that the Labour Commissioner was notified in writing within the statutory period, and the Claimants were not given proper written notice of impending redundancy. The purported redundancy notices were in fact termination letters, and the consultative process was neither transparent nor objective. The Respondent's reliance on virtual 'town hall' meetin…

The applicant failed to prove a legal or equitable interest in the suit land as a beneficiary of the estate of the late Jonathan Kateera.

The respondent followed statutory procedure by issuing notice to the applicant before lapsing the caveat, and there was evidence of proper notification. The subsequent transfers and mortgages were effected by registered proprietors acting within their rights, and the applicant's challenge to their titles was u…

Mbabali & Another v Pope Paul VI Social Club Limited (Petition Cause 17370 of 2023) [2024] UGRSB 3 (8 February 2024)
The Registrar found that the applicants failed to prove oppression or mismanagement by the directors, as the postponement of the AGM was done in good faith to allow more members to pay subscriptions and participate. The Executive Committee acted within its powers under the company's constitution and the Companies Act. The Registrar's letter of 30th March 2023 was not a binding directive, as it was issued without affording the respondent company a fair hearing, violating the right to be heard. Consequently, the meetings held on 31st March and 7th April 2023, which stemmed from the purported di…

Standard Chartered Bank Uganda Limited v Lawoko (Miscellaneous Cause 8 of 2023) [2024] UGCommC 79 (31 January 2024)
The respondent defaulted on his loan repayment obligations under the credit facility secured by a mortgage, despite repeated notices and opportunities to cure the default. The respondent failed to regularize his payments and denied the applicant access to the mortgaged property, impeding the applicant's rights as a mortgagee. Although the respondent filed his affidavit in reply late, the Court exercised its discretion to validate the filing in the interests of substantive justice. The respondent's financial constraints due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not excuse his unilateral modification of…
