Labour Dispute Reference 2 of 2021
Judges
Wabwire Musana, J, Namara, Panel Member, Nabirye, Matovu

The court found that the Claimant was an employee of the Respondent and was dismissed for alleged insubordination and absence from a meeting.

The Applicants' reliance on the lack of objection from the 2nd Respondent and alleged admissions by the 1st Respondent did not meet the threshold for setting aside the consent temporary injunction. The court found that the press release by the 1st Respondent's Administrator constituted an admission only as to the existence of unremitted contributions, but did not resolve the underlying issues of eligibility and entitle…
