Introduction to Judicial Practice and Administration

KShs2,688.00

The book is unique as it blends a variety of skills and some aspects of justice administration in a bid to author a masterpiece for judicial administrators and court managers, law students, and the judiciary stakeholders. The book looks at some issues and facts surrounding the administration of the judiciary including, court management, case flow management, leadership skills, and record-keeping. The author relies on credible works and case studies of other jurisdictions. The book spearheads the big idea that despite the challenges that the Tanzanian Judiciary is facing ever since the introduction of a duo system that separates justice administration from the administration of the judiciary and the court, the Tanzanian Judiciary stands a chance of being better.

Summary Judgement

KShs1,856.00

ByHon. Justice (Rtd.) Richard Kuloba

Summary Judgment shows how courts interpret and apply Order 35 in Kenya and Tanzania and the corresponding Order 33 in Uganda. It is a work on the East African summary judgment procedure in civil litigation. This celebrated Order is one of the great innovations in the Rules of Court. This book sets out the illuminating touchstones that guide the crucial judgment involved in balancing the need for the expeditious disposition of cases and the right to a plenary trial. Although the cases cited in the texts do not expressly use the same language, they clearly answer the charge that Order 35 might be an unconstitutional deprivation of the right to a trial, by making it plain that the right to a trial does not include the right to a useless trial of nonexistent genuine issues. The book is intended to state the law authoritatively and serve as a work of reference.

Partnership Law in Uganda

KShs1,856.00

ByProf.David Bakibinga

The author brings alive the rules of partnership by initially comparing the partnership with its offspring, the limited company, and other associations, then examining its nature and definition with reference to relevant statutory provisions. He then deals with the relationship between partners and outsiders, essentially an agency aspect of the partnership, before considering the relationship between partners, an attribute resting on the property, management, and fiduciary considerations. The author also analyses the dissolution of the partnership, the relationship between bankruptcy and partnership, the taxation of partnership, and the limited partnership recently introduced by the Partnership Act, 2010. Throughout the discourse is a reference to relevant Ugandan and Common Law cases, some of which can only be traced in obsolete law reports.
