Preface
The primary objective of IEL Contracts: Uganda is to present the readers the general principles of the law of contract generally and specific contracts in particular.
In addition to outlining background information on Uganda, including historical aspects of the law of contract, this monograph examines relevant legislation and case law from Uganda and some commonwealth jurisdictions on nature and formation of the contract, consideration, conditions of substantive validity, defects of consent, contents of a contract, privity of contract, termination of a contract, and remedies.
After interrogating general principles governing contracts in Uganda, this monograph delves into an analysis of specific contracts, namely: agency; bailment; gaming and wagering; sale of goods; building contracts, hire of work and skills; lease, commercial and agricultural leases; compromise settlement; suretyship; pledge; loans; contracts with the government and other public administrations; con-tract of partnership; and quasi-contracts.
This monograph is written in a simple, readable, friendly, and accessible form. It is written in such a way that it may be easily read by lawyers, law students, non-lawyers, including business people, and all those interested in matters concerning contracts.
I am grateful to my colleague, Associate Professor Dr. Ronald Kakungulu Mayambala who showed me a call by the International Encyclopaedia of Laws (IEL) for submission of a manuscript on IEL Contracts: Uganda. Thank you, Ronald, for your collegiality.
I also thank Dr Benson Tusasirwe, my co-teacher of the Law of Contract, for assisting me with some of the materials for this monograph. I am also grateful to Mr. Francis Birikadde who partially assisted in editing the manuscript.
I also wish to pay tribute to all the past and present students of the Law of Contract, whom I have taught at university and college levels for over thirty years.
Finally, I express my sincere appreciation to my wife, friend, and lover, Anne, for always tolerating my very busy and demanding academic work with its associated tight deadlines.
To our children, Faith, Brenda, Rhona, and Jenkins. Thank you for being lovely and cooperative children.
To my sister Mary, whom we brought up from infancy, for acquiring satisfactory levels of education and serving as a good example to our children.
To our grandchildren, Elaine, Liam, Liana; those of Mary (Chloe, Branice, Shanice, Ariana); and those yet to be born, I pray and believe that you will take education and hard work seriously. To God be the glory.
Prof. Dr Ben Kiromba Twinomugisha.
