Wilson Nabudere, , while still alive,
successfully sued the Uganda Commercial
Bank Ltd in the High Court for recovery of a
liquidated sum of money, being accumulated
leave allowances which had accrued to him
before he retired from the appellant’s
employment. After his death the respondents
were joined as parties to the case as the
administrators of his estate. The appellant was

dissatisfied with the decision of the trial court
and appealed to the Court of Appeal. By a
majority decision, the appeal was unsuccessful.
Hence this appeal. The court heard the appeal
and found that it had no merit and dismissed it
with costs. The court reserved its reasons for
doing so, which it then proceeded to give. The
background is that the deceased resigned from
the service of the appellant on terms of the
appellants program but his allowances were not
paid.
