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.

Appeal dismissed: Court finds remand period was properly taken into account under prevailing law and earlier memorandum complaint is an afterthought.
Criminal law – sentencing – deduction of time spent on remand – Article 23(8) Constitution – timing and application of judicial precedent (Rwabugande Moses post-dates the impugned decisions) – appellate procedure – procedural waiver and inadmissibility of afterthought grounds – inherent powers of the Court.
