“The learned Justices were entitled to first deal with the grounds regarding the
procedure adopted by the trial Judge in striking out the defendants’ plea.

the appellant Judges never addressed the circumstances under which the Bank never
sought the permission of the Bank of Uganda to carry out its business in Uganda as required hence violating sections; 4 (1) and 117 of the Financial Institutions Act.

failed to address the substantial issue of illegality as rightfully ruled at High Court, If
DTB admits the same, then Ham is by law entitled to Judgement by admission.
