First Instance Judgment
| Verdict | In a nutshell, we are of the view that the Taxing Officer, when exercising her discretion upon certain materials placed before her in Taxation Cause no. 1 of 2015, did not misdirect herself nor did she apply any wrong principle in denying the Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda instruction fees for perusals, drawings and service.
In light of the foregoing findings, we find no reason to interfere with the section of the Taxing Officer. The Reference is accordingly dismissed with further order that the Respondent shall be awarded costs to be borne by the Applicant.
It is so ordered. |
