High Court Orders Uganda Christian University to Pay UGX. 100 Million for Unfairly Revoking a Student's Transferred Credits After Four Years of Study and Frustrating Her Legitimate Expectation to Graduate
The Court observed that UCU's own conduct, permitting four years of progression, clearing her for Guild Presidential candidature under a rule requiring no academic retakes, and introducing her to the Ministry of Justice as “awaiting graduation”, was found to be wholly inconsistent with its later position
Applying Halsbury's formulation and Paponette v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago, the Court held that the 2022 admission letter, the applicant's placement in Semester II, and UCU's conduct over four years (including the Guild Presidency vetting) gave rise to a legitimate expectation that her transferred credits were accepted, shifting the burden to UCU to justify any reversal

"Detaining a patient for non-payment of a medical bill is unlawful, since a hospital bill is a contractual debt that must be enforced through legal processes and not by holding a patient,"
R.E Aburili J of the High Court at Milimani in Gicheru v The Nairobi Hospital & another;
This decision highlights the impunity that can be orchestratedw by police and state house agents to finally determine land rights as if they are courts of law.
And also since when did RDCs start issuing injuctive orders ?😅 Respect for rule of law must prevail.
Only a lawyer would understand the weight of 61 pages of Mubiru J's ruling.
All RDCs, Police officers ought to read this.
