Supreme Court of Uganda

The Supreme Court of Uganda is the highest judicial organ in Uganda. It derives powers from Article 130 of the 1995 constitution. It is primarily an appellate court with original jurisdiction in only one type of case: a presidential election petition.

The Supreme Court is headed by the chief justice nd has ten other justices. The quorum required for a court decision varies depending on the type of case under consideration. When hearing a constitutional appeal, the required quorum is seven justices. In a criminal or a civil appeal, only five justices are required for a quorum.

Citation	Judgment date
May 2014
Attorney General v Awor [2014] UGSC 100 (15 May 2014)	15 May 2014
Muhenda v Mirembe [2014] UGSC 8 (15 May 2014) Application to recall Supreme Court judgment to exclude third‑party land in execution denied for delay and improper procedure. Civil procedure – Recall and variation of Supreme Court judgment – Limits of rule 2(2) and rule 35; slip rule not a vehicle to re‑decide final issues. Execution – Alleged wrongful inclusion of third‑party land – proper remedy is objector proceedings (Order 22 r.50) or fresh suit, not recall of appellate judgment. Delay – Inordinate and unexplained delay defeats applications under rule 35 despite the phrase "at any time."	15 May 2014
