The High Court of Uganda has clarified the Appointing Authorities / Arbitral Institutions under the Ugandan Arbitration Law for the Ugandan Seated Arbitrations.
<p>The High Court in Misc. Cause No.2 of 2025 Labx Scientific Limited versus Katakwi District Local Government advised that parties are free to commence Arbitrations at the International Centre for Arbitration and Mediation in Kampala ICAMEK where the Arbitration Agreement refers disputes to Arbitration under the Laws of Uganda and the Parties fail to appoint an Arbitrator. <br/><br/>This follows the rationalization of the Center for Arbitration and Dispute Resolution CADER into a department in the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs under the Arbitration and Conciliation (Amendment) Act of 2024. Currently, the CADER is not fully constituted. </p><p>The High Court advised that there are two Arbitral Institutions that were given powers as Appointing Authorities under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act Cap 5 - CADER and ICAMEK. As such where CADER is not fully constituted to aid parties to appoint an Arbitrator, the parties have the option to file a Request of Arbitration at ICAMEK without requesting the court to Appoint an Arbitrator on their behalf. <br/><br/>The decision remains instructive on the Arbitral Institutions for Ugandan Seated Arbitrations. The decision also guides parties in negotiating Arbitration Agreements where they intend Uganda to be the seat of arbitrating their disputes. <br/><br/>For any further Advisory and Representation required on Arbitration matters from Negotiating Arbitration Agreements to Representation where disputes have arisen, Reach out to the Signum Advocates Commercial Arbitration Practice team. <br/><br/>ReachOutToUs.</p>
