Watira v Wakimona and Another (Miscellaneous Application No. 8 of 2021) [2022] UGCA 135 (6 May 2022)
The Court of Appeal dismissed an application for extension of time in an election appeal, holding that the applicant’s counsel missed mandatory filing deadlines.
Abitakeniza v Monday (CIVIL SUIT NO.942 OF 2015) [2018] UGHCCD 34 (25 May 2018)
The court held that there is no statutory provision granting a right of appeal in cases of this nature, and that appellate jurisdiction cannot be exercised based solely on inherent jurisdiction under Section 98 of the Civil Procedure Act. The Supreme Court authority in Baku Raphael vs AG was cited to reinforce that appellate jurisdiction must be expressly provided by law. Since no such statutory right exists for the appeal in question, the High Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain it. Consequently, the appeal was found to be incompetent and was dismissed with costs.
