The Reference was dismissed as moot because the Anti-Homosexuality Act had been nullified by the Constitutional Court of Uganda, removing any live controversy. The Court found no sufficient proof of general public importance to warrant departure from the mootness doctrine and declined to usurp the legislative function of the Parliament of Uganda.
