Kercan v Britam Insurance Co. Uganda (Miscellaneous Application 8 of 2023) [2024] UGHC 971 (3 October 2024)
The application was dismissed on the basis that service was effected out of time without leave of court, contrary to Order 5 rule 1(2) and (3) of the Civil Procedure Rules, and no application for extension of time was made.

The criminal case was prosecuted by the state for receiving stolen property, while the civil suit involved breach of contract and fraud with different parties and remedies. The applicant failed to demonstrate any real danger of prejudice or injustice from the continuation of both proceedings. The court held that the criteria for staying criminal proceedings under section 209 of the Magistrates Court Act were not met, and the appli…
