Initial disconnection for suspected meter tampering was unlawful; fraud charge lacked evidential basis; second disconnection lawful.

Habib Sembatya v UMEME Limited (Complaint Number EDT 10 of 2014) [2017] UGEDT 2 (13 March 2017)
Tribunal found unlawful projection of electricity wires over the complainant’s house and awarded damages and costs.
Property law – Trespass to land – projection of objects into the airspace over land; consent/way-leave required for cables; remedial damages for trespass and damage to tree; subsequent removal of offending structure does not negate past trespass.
