High Court dismisses UGX5.6 billion arbitration award to ATC Uganda against Smile Communications The setting aside of the arbitral award allows Smile Communications more breathing space to challenge, in higher courts, the commercial contracts with ATC Uganda, which Smile Communications contends are a manifestation of ATC Uganda’s monopolistic stranglehold on the market, that is suffocating other players out of business, under the watch of an unhelpful regulator.
Hon. Justice Stephen Mubiru of the High Court set aside the arbitral award to ATC saying that, the award had been delivered out of time and that the arbitrator had exhibited partiality in the process.
