One of the prominent public interest cases scheduled for the pre-hearing is the matter in which City businessman Hamis Kiggundu filed an application against Diamond Trust Bank Uganda and Diamond Trust Bank Kenya in the Supreme Court. Kiggundu seeks a judgment on admission, arguing that the lawyers representing DTB admitted in lower court records that their client operated without a license as required under the Financial Institutions Act of Uganda.

He claims that more than Shillings 120 billion was fraudulently withdrawn from his bank accounts without his consent or approval during the period of his loan acquisition between 2011 and 2016. Kiggundu’s legal team has requested judgment to be entered on admission in accordance with Order 13 Rule 6 of the Civil Procedure Rules, which allows courts to issue judgments based on the admission of facts made in pleadings or at any stage of the suit.

The Commercial Court ruled in Kiggundu’s favor on this issue, considering not only the admission of facts but also the illegality committed by DTB Kenya by operating without a license when granting the loan in question. However, DTB’s lawyers argue that the Supreme Court Justices should disregard the judgment on admission and refer the matter back to the High Court Commercial Division for a fresh hearing, as ordered by the Court of Appeal.

They highlight the potentially far-reaching consequences on the banking sector and the economy if Kiggundu’s application is decided in his favor, emphasizing that the main appeal cannot be determined without concluding this application. Other public interest cases scheduled for pre-hearing include Dembe Trading Enterprises Limited versus Birungi Cephas Kagyenda, Remegio Obwana versus the Registered Trustees of Tororo Diocese, Vivo Energy Uganda Limited versus Lydia Kisitu, and Sadick Kakaire and Another versus Uganda National Examinations Board, among others.
