This was an application for a declaration that the respondents
are in contempt of Court Orders in MA 97 of 2016, Geraldine
Busuulwa Ssali Vs National Social Security Fund and Others,
and a prayer for UGX 1,000,000,000/= as compensation.
Court ruled that for contempt of court to exist there must be a
lawful court order, and the potential contemnor must have
been aware of the court order and failed to comply with the
order or disobeyed the court order. The court order was as
stated in the Ruling of the Deputy Registrar and it basically
required the respondents to refrain from implementing any of
their decisions pushing out or suspending the applicant from
work. From the evidence on record and submissions, the
respondents have effectively implemented the suspension by
pushing the applicant out of office and denying her access to

the office. They have even withdrawn her entitlements as
Deputy Managing Director despite the court Ruling and
orders.
Court found this action contemptuous.
