Kaganda v Uganda National Bureau of Standards (Miscellaneous Cause No. 268 of 2022) [2025] UGHCCD 91 (16 June 2025)
The court held that the applicant's dismissal was not subject to the 15-day limitation for disciplinary penalties under the Employment Act, as dismissal is expressly excluded from such penalties. The respondent had legal authority to dismiss the applicant, and no illegality was established. On procedural impropriety, the court found that the respondent adhered to the rules of natural justice: the applicant was informed of the allegations, given an opportunity to respond, and provided with relevant documents. There was no legal requirement for cross-examination of witnesses or for the labour u…

Enen Okello Richard v Lira University Council (Miscellaneous Cause No. 23 of 2022) [2025] UGHC 328 (8 May 2025)
The High Court held that judicial review under section 57(3) of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act is confined to reviewing the decision and process of the University Staff Tribunal, not the underlying decisions of the Appointments Board or Top Management. Since the applicant did not challenge the Tribunal's process or decision, but instead sought to re-litigate issues already determined by the Tribunal or raise new matters not previously presented, the application was misconceived. The court further held that naming Lira University Council instead of Lira University was a m…

Kavuma v National Social Security Fund (LABOUR DISPUTE CLAIM NO 171 of 2021) [2025] UGIC 31 (1 April 2025)
The Industrial Court found that the Claimant's dismissal was both procedurally and substantively fair. Procedurally, the Claimant was given written notice, sufficient time to prepare, a detailed charge sheet, and the opportunity to attend the disciplinary hearing with a representative. The disciplinary process met the legal standards for fairness. Substantively, the evidence showed that the Claimant, as Customer Service Officer, failed to follow established procedures for verifying a benefit claim, did not send the claim to forensics as required, and signed off on documents without proper ver…

The court found that the respondent, after the expiry of the applicant's study leave, took reasonable steps to engage the applicant, including inviting him to appear before relevant committees and charging him with abscondment only after he failed to report or provide progress updates. The applicant was accorded a fair hearing before the Appointment Board, was notified of the charges, allowed to file a defense, and the matter was referred to mediation. The subsequent decision to caution the applicant and return him to duty was communicated to him, and he exercised his right of appeal to the S…
