June 2023
Arpe Limited v Electricity Regulatory Authority (MISCELLENOUS APPLICANT EDT 9 of 2023) [2023] UGEDT 2 (1 June 2023) Applicant failed to show prima facie case or irreparable harm; injunction to restrain licence modification was refused. Electricity regulation – interlocutory injunction – requirements: prima facie case, irreparable injury, balance of convenience, and evidence of status quo. Licence modification – statutory powers of regulator under the Electricity Act to initiate modifications and impose compliance measures, including environmental conditions and performance bonds. Procedural compliance – implementing design changes without following licence modification procedures undermines applicant’s claim for injunctive relief. Public interest – regulatory duties to consumers and environmental safeguards weigh against restraining regulator’s functions.	1 June 2023
