Employment And Labour [2024] UGHC 1

Luigi Gianazzi v Chemtai Lucy

Luigi Gianazzi v Chemtai Lucy (Civil Suit 18 of 2018) [2024] UGHC 1 (25 January 2024)

Court
High Court of Uganda
Case number
Civil Suit 18 of 2018
Judge
Lubega, J

The court found that the salary loan in question arose from an employer-employee relationship, as evidenced by the pleadings and the manner of repayment—through salary deductions. The plaintiff, though arguing the loan was personal, was the owner and employer, and the loan was described as a salary loan in both parties' evidence.

The court found that the claimants were unlawfully terminated without valid reason or due process, contrary to Section 68 and Section 66 of the Employment Act and the Supreme Court's guidance in Hilda Musinguzi Vs Stanbic Bank. The respondent's reliance on Section 65(1)(a) was rejected, as it must be read together with the requirement for a valid reason and a hearing. The claimants failed to prove entitlement to repayment of salary loans due to lack of evidence that the loans were solely serviced by salary deductions.

Mugisha v Equity Bank Uganda Ltd

Mugisha v Equity Bank Uganda Ltd (Miscellaneous Application No. 167 of 2018) [2019] UGIC 14 (8 February 2019)

Court
Industrial Court of Uganda
Case number
Miscellaneous Application No. 167 of 2018

The court found that the mortgage was additional security for the loan and that the employment relationship and mortgage relationship between the applicant and respondent are severable. The enforcement of the mortgage deed is a commercial matter, not a labour dispute, and the applicant's termination does not affect the respondent's right to recover the loan through sale of the mortgaged property. The court also recognized the requirement under the mortgage regulations for a 30% deposit before postponement of sale, but emphasized that its jurisdiction is limited to labour disputes, not commerc…
