Administrative law RADA 0003/13/CS

KYAMAZIMA v. RDB Et. Al

The Supreme Court held that Kyamazima's claim was not administrative, as the auction was not conducted by an administrator nor based on an administrative decision. The matter arose from a commercial loan contract, thus falling under Commercial Court jurisdiction. The official document authorizing the auction had already been upheld as lawful in a final judgment, precluding its reconsideration. Damages for vexatious litigation were denied as the right to appeal is fundamental, but counsel fees were awarded at the court's discretion.
