D7) on the basis that the Defendant would also sign it and return to him a duly executed copy. It could only become operational after the Defendant had signed it and notified the Plaintiff by sending him a copy of the executed document. The Defendant did not do so and th e Plaintiff only got to know about the execution of the said agreement by the Defendant after he had commenced these proceedings and }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 had pleaded the old agreement. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Secondly, throughout their dealings, the Defendant never referred to the new agreement.

The Plaintiff had ample opportunity to read it befo}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 re signing it. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 After that the relationship between the parties was}{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 governed by new terms. In his }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 view, this point need}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 not be belabored any further. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 I have considered both submissions and reached this conclusion. The existence of the old agreement is an agreed fact. The only question is whether that agreement was subsequently replaced by the new one of 28/7/98. I think it was, for a number of re}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 asons including the following: \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 The last paragraph of the old agreement provided as quoted earlier on that it would automatically become null and void and would be replaced by the new standard RPTF service station }{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 operator\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 agreement once the latter become ready. It is clear, therefore, that at the time of signing the old agreement, both parties were aware that they would sign a new standard RTF station }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 operator\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 agreement as soon as it was ready and it would replace the old one. The new agreement therefore replaced the old one u}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 pon execution by both parties. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Secondly and most importantly, the new agreement bears the signature of the Plaintiff on all pages as well as the stamp of the Regent Katwe Station Ltd under which the station was run. That fact is enough to validate an agreement in the absence of any vitiating factors such as incapacity, duress, undue influ e nce, fraud or illegality, which is not the case in the instance dispute. The fact that the Plaintiff did not see it or that the Defendant never referred to it after execution is really in my view, immaterial. The Plaintiff must have had opportunity to rea d it before signing it and he should have, as a prudent businessman of his status requested for a copy of the executed document after signature. He told Court that he was the Marketing Manager of the Defendant up to 1994. He did not ask for the copy and in

my view, he cannot use that as a defence. The fact that the Defendant did not refer to it in their dealings is also not a defence. It does not vitiate it. Clearly the Marketing Manager referred to clause 8 of the old agreement in his termination letter of 25/1/99 is an error because the new agreement is very clear.

The question therefore is, whether the Plaintiff has proved these particularised alleged breaches to enable the Court to make a finding of breach of contract}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 on the part of the Defendant. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Learned counsel for the Plaintiff submitted that the ev idence of PW1 and PW3 was sufficient to prove that the Plaintiff lost fuel through leakages of tanks at the said petrol station. That PW3 had shown both by his report and his oral testimony that the tanks at the said station had holes in them when they we re }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 excavated}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 . The two witnesses had also proved that the tanks recorded short falls throughout the material times. That this evidence was not controverted and in the absence of any other explanation for the short falls, it must be concluded that the holes i n the tanks let out the fuel. Counsel then invited the Court to take }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 judicial}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 notice of the fact that a container with holes will let out the liquid substance in it.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Counsel for the Plaintiff further maintained that the conditions of the new agreement did not apply to the Plaintiff, for reasons stated earlier on. That even if it were assumed that the new agreement was applicable to the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 parties\rquote }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 dealings, the Plaintiff\rquote s evidence clearly shows that he always called upon the Defendant to come and rectify suspected defects in the equipments. The Defendant\rquote s agents always went and either insisted that there were no defects or that the defects had been rectified. The Plaintiff was not in a position to know the specific defects and as such, he was entitled to rely on the Defendant\rquote s technical personnel \rquote s advice. In this case, there was no need for written communication since the Defendant\rquote s technicians usually claimed to}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 have rectified the situation. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 On the issue of written notices of losses (leakages), counsel su bmitted that the only time he came to establish that the final losses were due to leakage was after 24/12/98. His letter of claim was therefore well }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 within the 14 days limitation. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Counsel for the Plaintiff also submitted that the Defendant was in breach of contract in terminating the agreement for the Plaintiff\rquote s failure to meet sales targets; because the failure was due to the Defendant\rquote s failure to provide sound equipment. The Plaintiff was therefore entitled to refuse to dump more of his fuel products i n tanks which had by then been established to be leaking. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Finally, counsel submitted that the advertisement of the Plaintiff\rquote s land was wrongful in that the debt was supposed to be paid up }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 in 12 months from 2/6/98 (See: }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Mortgage Deed \emdash Exh.

The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant invited him to the premises when there was old and faulty equipment, failed to maintain the equipment or take action whenever he reported shortages and that he ther}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 efore suffered financial loss. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 2.

That the Defendant was in breach of the contract by putting up the Plaintiff\rquote s land for sale and generally causing financial loss to the Plaintiff and generally failing to observe the dealership agreement. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 \par }\pard \ltrpar\s15\qj \li0\ri0\sb100\sa240\sbauto1\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\wrapdefault\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\ipgp1\pararsid12675007 {\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Regarding the first set of allegations, counsel for the Defendant submitted that no evidence ha d been led at all to show that the equipment at the station was old and faulty from the outset. That such a charge lies in the month of the Plaintiff who was a former top executive of the Defendant }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 Company}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 . He was in a position to ensure that the equipment he took over from the Defendant was in good workable condition at the time of entering into the station. That the Plaintiff also admitted in cross- examination to being fully familiar with the terms of the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 dealer\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 agreement so he would have known the ris ks he was taking on. The Plaintiff must have been fully satisfied with the equipment at the time of taking over the station from the Defendant. The rights and duties of both parties were spelt out in the two dealership agreements in the event of faulty eq u ipment. (See Exhibit P1 clause 6 (b) ii) which illustrates that the Plaintiff was under a duty to keep Caltex informed of any faults occurring on the site or any need for repairs. This was only logical because it was the Plaintiff on the ground who could detect these faults. The Defendant\rquote s duty, in turn, was to carry out the necessary repairs. Although the Plaintiff has brought this suit claiming that he experienced shortages }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811\charrsid12675007 throughout}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 the years 1996-99, there are only two letters on the record showing that he actually ever reported any faults to the Defendants namely Exh}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 . P3 dated 14/12/98 and Exh. Pl0}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 dated 7/9/96. The claim that he made several report}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 s are accordingly exaggerated. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Be that as it may, the Plaintiff admitted under cross examination that e ach time he made a report Caltex would respond by sending its officials to carry out repair work and they would only tell him to continue after carrying out repairs. He did not testify that Caltex failed to respond to a single report. Caltex therefore dis charged its obligations fully in this regard, every time he made a repor}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 t and they responded promptly. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Secondly, clause 6 (b) (ii) shows that the Plaintiff was under a duty not to use the faulty equipment until repairs had been carried out. This was acknow ledged by the Plaintiff. It follows that if he had adhered to the agreement, he could not possibly have suffered loss as result of leakage and shortages because he was only entitled to use the equipment while it was working properly. Any loss that he may have incurred because of persistent use of faulty equipment must fall squarely at the doorstep of the Plaintiff because he acted in violation of the contract provisions. He also must be said to have acted negligently and visited the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 loss upon himself. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Exhi bit D7, that is the new agreement which governed the question of leakages and shortages after July 1998 (when Exhibit P.3 was written) there is a detailed process set out, under clause 6 thereof, as to the manner in which losses were to be reported in ord e r to make the Defendant liable for them. The salient features were that the Plaintiff had to make an immediate telephone report and follow it up within 14 days with a written report, accompanied by detailed calculation of losses. The Plaintiff was not ent itled to continue using equipment that has, as the dealer, considered defective without the express written consent of the Defendant. If he did so, he was solely liable for the loss incurred by failure to observe the contract. The Defendant was abs}{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 olved from all such liability. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Finally, it was also provided that in any event the Defendant would not be liable for losses accruing more than 14 days prior to written notice. Even a casual reading of Exhibit P3 shows that the Plaintiff did not fulfill the contrac tual conditions precedent for making the Defendant liable for the al}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 leged losses suffered in 1998. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 In the first place, the letter makes no reference to any telephone report made in accordance with the agreement. Secondly, the letter refers to incidences o n the dates of 28th October and 16th November both of which are far more than the contractual 14 days notification period prior to 14th December 1998, }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 the day of the written notice. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Thirdly, counsel submitted, the report makes no computation of losses as required by the contract. Fourthly, the letter illustrates deliberate continued use by the Plaintiff of defective equipment thereby absolving the Defendant of any possible liability for even the losses that allegedly occurred on }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 November }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 30th }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 1998, because by that time the Plaintiff had already good reason to suspect the tanks more defective. He should not have therefore continued using the tanks after the incidences of }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 28th }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 October and l6\rquote November. That is what the contract stipulated. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 The Plaintiff also relies heavily on a report dated }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 4th }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid15159811 January, 1999, prepared by Mutyaba Petroleum Pump Service, indicating that upon pressure testing it}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 was found that some tanks specifically 1K (Kerosene) and AGO (Diesel) had leaks. (Exhibit P15). According to counsel f or the Defendant, all that the report established was that, as at the day of testing, there were some holes in the tanks. That Mr. Mutyaba failed to tell when the holes first appeared during cross-examination. There is also nothing in the report to establ ish that the holes had been there for any particular period of time. The report is therefor}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 e most unhelpful to the Court. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 According to Mr. Byenkya, the report actually shows the faithful manner in which the Defendant discharged its obligations. Upon being asked to conduct a pressure test, it immediately obliged. When the tanks failed to test, the Defendant immediately offered to replace them. (See: Exhibit P5). In light of the above, counsel asked the Court to find that the Defendant had discharged all its

contractual obligations by responding to reports by the Plaintiff of faults and by carrying out necessary repairs. The fact that during a three year operation, the Plaintiff only wrote twice to complain shows that the problem was not a continuous one, he would the Court to believe. At any rate, the Defendant faithfully, discharged its duties up to the end and even when some tanks were found to be defective it even agree}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 d to replace them immediately. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Mr. Byenkya further submitted that with regard to the set of allegations that the Defendant breached the agreement by terminating the same, counsel for the Defendant submitted that the allegation is clearly unsustainable. It is not disputed that the Defendant had a right of termination under the terms of both d ealership agreements. Termination for failure to meet sales targets was one of the grounds on which the Defendant could terminate the contract within its term. It cannot therefore be said that by exercising a contractual right, the Defendant }{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 was in breach of the contract. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Finally, on the allegation of breach of the dealership agreement by offering the Plaintiff\rquote s land for sale, Mr. Byenkya submitted that the allegation was also untenable. That the Plaintiff admits owing}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 the Defendant Shs.l0}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 m. He also admits having executed a mortgage agreement to secure the loan (See: Exhibit D5). The mortgage was secured by the Plaintiff\rquote s property that was up for sale. There is an express power of sale under the mortgage without reference to the Court. The parties had two distinct and separate agreements. Neither of them was dependant on the other. The Plaintiff\rquote s property was put up for sale under the terms of the mortgage agreement, which governed the loan to the Plaintiff. It cannot be said to be a breach of the dealersh ip agreement, which regulated the business relationship of the Plaintiff and the Defendant. The second issue should thus be resolved in favour of the Defendant.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 I have held in the first issue that the relationship between the two parties was governed by the first agreement dated 1/1/95 up to the 28/7/98 when it was replaced by the new agreem}{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15159811 ent.

He noticed serious stock shortf alls and notified the Defendant. Repairs were carried out by the Defendants engineer but the shortfalls continued. PW4 told Court that in 1998, when he pressure tested the 3 tanks, they all failed the test. He made a report (Exh.

The Defendant kept on repairing the equipment but it is apparent that the repair was not effective. Mr. Mutyaba PW3, the i r technician who carried out pressure test on three underground tanks in January 1999 established that the tanks were defective and were leaking and recommended by his letter dated 4/1/99 (Exhibit P15) that the three tanks be uprooted and either repaired a nd treated or replaced.

The Plaintiff also breached the same by continuing to use the defective and leaking equipment even after establishing that the same was defective and that the Defendant had failed to repair it. Both par}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid2630923 ties are accordingly at fault. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 The third issue is whether the Defendant is liable in }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272\charrsid12675007 occupier\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 liability. The Defendants counse l reiterated his submissions under issue 2 and contended that the relationship between the two parties was regulated by contract. Their respective rights and obligations were set out under the contract. The question of occupier\rquote s liability, which is a tort, doesn\rquote t really arise. The two cannot be mixed together.

In the alternative, counsel submitted that the evidence actu ally shows that the Defendant took all reasonable care by responding whenever the Plaintiff reported that he had problems and by doing its best to solve them. The Plaintiff has not suggested that the people sent to carry out repairs were not qualified or able to do the work. On the facts no negligence has been established against the Defendant. On the contrary any negligence is likely to have been on the part of the Plaintiff for persis}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid2630923 tent use of suspect equipment. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Counsel for the Plaintiff insisted that }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid2630923\charrsid12675007 occupier\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 liability and liability under contract can co-exist on the same facts just as in the instant case.

Usually invitees have contractual or other relationship of mutual benefit between them and the occupier that takes them to the premises just as was the case in the instant case.

The answer to the first part of this issue is affirmative. The testimony of the Plaintiff and PW3 are spot on. There were losses which were established due to leakages. The leakages were the result of defective tanks. Exhibit P15 is particularly noteworthy. It is a report made by PW3 after pressure tasting 3 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid2630923\charrsid12675007 underground}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 tanks.

It is not disputed that the Defendant terminated the dealership agreement. It is also on record that the agreement (both new and old) provided for a right of termination. (See: clause 8 of the old and clause 13 of the new agreement). I have ruled earlier

that the new agreement replaced the old one at the time of termination. I have quoted earlier on the provision under clause 13 (vii) which stipulated that the Defendant had a right to terminate the dealership of the Plaintiff if he failed to meet the sale s performance targets set up by the Defendant. This was the reason given in the termination letter (Exhibit P7). Earlier on he had been given various warnings for poor sales performance e.g. Exhibit P.2 dated 18/9/98 and Exhibit D8 dated 11/9/98. I therefo r e agree with Defence counsel that the Defendant was well within its contractual rights because the Plaintiff failed to meet the sales target. There is no letter on record or oral testimony that the Plaintiff meet the target. The answer to this issue is ac cord}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 ingly affirmative. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 The sixth issue concerns water and electricity bills.

The Defendant is free to realize its security in accordance with the Mortgage Deed after the expiry of the 12 months period given to the Plaintiff to pay the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 loan, which has since expired. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 There is evidence that the Plaintiff made several}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 complaints and reports to the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Defendant about the problems at the station. Tha}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 t although the complaints were }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 addressed, they persiste}{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 d and the Plaintiff did not settle down in his business. The }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Plaintiff is therefore entitled to general damages fo}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 r this and I award him Shs.5m. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 Regarding the counter claim, the Plaintiff admitted that there is an outstandi}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 ng balance on the loan of Shs.10}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 ,219,087-. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 I award this to the Defendant. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 The Defendant also claimed Shs.2,106,453- as water and electricity bills. No evidence was however adduced by the Defendant to prove thi s claim. Besides it was the obligation of the Plaintiff to pay this amount to UEB (them) and not that of the Defendant. The Defendant can only recover this money upon proof of payment of the amount to UEB. There was no such proof. This claim is therefore disallowed. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 The Defendant also prayed for general damages}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272 for breach of contract of Shs. 5}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 m. I have ruled that the Plaintiff also breached the contract by continued use of the defective tanks. However, no evidence was }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6978272\charrsid12675007 left}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12195874\charrsid12675007 to prove any inconvenience or loss suffered by the Defendant as a result of this.
