REFERENCE NO. 50 OF 2025 LEGAL BRAINS TRUST (LBT) LTD v. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA

The Applicant alleges that the Respondent’s actions on 18 September 2025 of delivering the Supreme Court of Uganda judgment in Hassan Basajjabalaba & 5 Others v. Legal Brains Trust (LBT) Ltd, Constitutional Appeal No. 4 of 2020—which set aside the judgment of the Constitutional Court and condoned alleged illegalities—are unlawful infringements on Articles 6(d), 7(2), and 8(1)(c) of The Treaty for Establishment of The East African Community as well as the Fundamental and Operational Principles of the Community. The Applicant specifically contends that by wrongly limiting the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court over contested questions of fact and failing to scrutinize the use of a fabricated court order and secret “letters of comfort” to deplete the national treasury, the Respondent has violated the principles of the rule of law, good governance, accountability, and the right to a corruption-free society.
