High Court judge Justice Lydia Mugambe has ordered Makerere University to pay costs to its researcher Dr Stella Nyanzi for failing to file their reply on time in a case she sued the institution for refusing to reinstate and promote her as a senior researcher.
In November, 2018 Dr Stella Nyanzi dragged the university to court for refusing to abide by institution tribunal order which declared that her suspension was illegal.
Dr Stella Nyanzi is was arrested and detained on allegations of abusing the president and his deceased mother.
Mr Huson Musoke, Makerere lawyer told the court yesterday that he was notified on Monday December 10, 2018, however upon checking Court records Justice Mugambe found that Makerere was served on 20th November 2018.
The Judge told the university to compensate Nyanzi for delayed trail since court had expected to proceed with the hearing.
Justice Mugambe has also issued summons to the director of human resource Makerere University to appear before court on January 9th 2019 to be cross examined.
