Furthermore, the finding of the High Court of UGANDA in Tumusiime Fidelis vs. Attorney General (Civil Suit No.88 of 2003) is amply instructive in as far as the Court held that: “…..the law in case of unlawful termination of contract of employment, with no provision for termination prior to expiry of the fixed period is that the employee is entitled to recover as damages the equivalent of remuneration for the balance of the contract period. This is in contrast unlawful termination of a contract that has a stipulation of termination by either party. In such a case the wronged employee is entitled to recover damages the equivalent of remuneration for the period stipulated in the termination notice.” In addressing prayer (C), we therefore find it relevant to borrow the above findings and apply them to the instant case. Pursuant to the Council’s decision, Ms. Angella Amudo’s employment contract would have covered a five year period; from 1st November, 2008 up to 1st November, 2013. Contrary to the aforesaid decision, her contract was unlawfully terminated on 30th April, 2012 as indicated elsewhere above. Therefore, prayer (C) is allowed to compensate the loss incurred during the period comprised between 1st May, 2012 and 1st November, 2013 to top up a 5 year employment contract she was given by the Appointing Authority, to wit USD9,024,00. With regard to prayer (D) to which general damages for pain and mental anguish are sought, we equally need to define it as we did CLAIM NO.1 OF 2012 Page 31
