Court
HC: Civil Division (Uganda)
Case number
Miscellaneous Application No. 29 of 2021

The court emphasized that the directors, as the directing mind and will of the company, were acting within their powers, and that company management disputes should be resolved internally before seeking judicial intervention. Granting the injunction would disrupt the company's operations and alter the statu…

Miscellaneous Cause No. 62 of 2018
Judge
Wabwire, J
The court found that while the respondent's affidavit in reply was filed out of time and no plausible reason was advanced for the delay, rigid application of procedural timelines to affidavits should be tempered by judicial discretion. The court followed precedent that affidavits, as evidence, may be admitted if no irreparable prejudice is caused to the opposing party, and any inconvenience can be remedied by an appropriate order as to costs. The respondent demonstrated interest in defending the matter, and the applicant did not show that admitting the affidavit would cause injustice or preju…

Case number
HCT-00-CV-MISC Appeal- 09 -2015
Judge
Musota, J
The court found that the interim order issued by the Deputy Registrar affected both the appellant and Chainlink Technology Ltd, a separate legal entity. The Deputy Registrar erred by failing to consider the preliminary objection regarding the company's right to legal representation and fair hearing. The freezing of the company's bank account without hearing its side of the story was unjust and unfair, as it could cripple the company as a going concern. The principles of natural justice and proper procedure under Order 41 Rule 3 of the Civil Procedure Rules were not observed. Consequently, the…

The issues raised by the applicant were substantive and required a full trial on the merits, not summary determination at the interlocutory stage. The balance of convenience favor…
