Ssali Emmanuel & 4 Others v The Board of Gorvenors St. Bernedicts Sec. School - Buwama (Labour Dispute Claim 96 of 2014) [2014] UGIC 1 (12 July 2014)
The court found that the claimants were employees of the respondent school, as evidenced by pay slips and appointment letters, and that the change in the Board of Governors did not absolve the school of its liabilities to the claimants. However, the claimants failed to prove the circumstances of their termination, and thus claims for general damages and severance allowance were disallowed. The court awarded only the unpaid salary balances substantiated by legible pay slips. The claim succeeded to the extent of proven monetary entitlements, with no order as to costs.
