This specialist text on Partnership Law in Uganda recognizes the fact that most business activities in Uganda are either conducted individually or in partnership. The author compares the partnership with its offspring, the limited liability company and other associations, before dealing with its nature and definition with reference to relevant statutory provisions. This is followed by an examination of the relationship between partners and outsiders, essentially an agency aspect of partnership before considering the relationship between partners, an attribute resting on property, management and fiduciary considerations. The remaining chapters analyse the dissolution of partnership, the link between partnership and bankruptcy, taxation of partnership and the limited liability partnership introduced by the Partnership Act, 2010. The discussion is supported by reference to relevant Ugandan and common law cases. This work is intended to meet the needs of University Bachelor of Laws Degree students offering either the Company Law and Partnership or Law of Business Association courses, legal practitioners and researchers as well as peripheral students of law majoring in accountancy, business administration, finance and marketing disciplines.

The new edition of this established text is a fully updated account of the law of partnerships in a readily accessible and readable form. It is a valuable tool for practitioners who need a readily available source of information on partnership law as well as students of partnership law. The work explains the essential characteristics of the subject, highlighting difficult and developing areas by reference to both established and modern cases and legislation. In addition to UK authorities, of which there are an increasing number at a high level, it also covers cases from many parts of the Commonwealth that still use the Partnership Act of 1890. New developments such as the amendments to the law on limited partnerships and changes to the legislative framework of limited liability partnerships are covered. In essence the book explains the essential characteristics of the subject through areas such as formation, regulation and dissolution of partnership and has inciteful commentary that even experienced lawyers find useful.

The text by a nationally and internationally recognised specialist in Company Law had, over the past 29 years, provided the first comprehensive discussion on the subject in Uganda. Currently, it has been revised to incorporate references to the Companies Act, 2012, of Uganda, Companies Act, 2015, of Kenya, as well as the Companies Act, 2002, of Tanzania. Additionally, reference is made to the Insolvency and Capital Markets Regulatory legislation and cases in those 3 East African Community States to provide an East African regional perspective. Substantially, the text deals with the general features of Company Law, including the law applicable, relevance to society and trends and reform including recent provisions evident in legislation on the concept of the one-man company, the composition of the board of directors, the scope of the abolition of the ultra vires and indoor management rules and the issue of shares bearing in mind capital markets legislation. Following is an analysis of the nature and implications of incorporation, promotion, memorandum and articles of association and their significance. The author then examines corporate finance through allotment of shares, public issue of securities, debentures and borrowing by the company. There follows a presentation of the role of corporate directors and other officials, their capacity to bind the company by their acts and their responsibility in the context of accounting, audit and duties of directors and their enforcement. Following the approach of the Ugandan Companies Act, 2012, which is based on the New Zealand approach, this edition of the book limits discussion of reconstruction and winding up of the company (to be appropriately handled in texts on Insolvency Law) and ends with a discussion of the meetings and proceedings of the company.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of property in Uganda deals with the issues related to rights and interests in all kinds of property and assets – immovable, movable, and personal property; how property rights are acquired; fiduciary mechanisms; and security considerations. Lawyers who handle transnational disputes and other matters concerning property will appreciate the explanation of specific terminology, application, and procedure. An introduction outlining the essential legal, cultural, and historical considerations affecting property is followed by a discussion of the various types of property. Further analysis describes how and to what extent legal subjects can have or obtain rights and interests in each type. The coverage includes tangible and intangible property, varying degrees of interest, and the various ways in which property is transferred, including the ramifications of appropriation, expropriation, and insolvency. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. The book includes ample references to doctrine and cases, as well as to relevant international treaties and conventions. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for any practitioner faced with a property-related matter. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Uganda will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative property law.
