Abstract:The purpose of this review of the law is not only to present the as yet unreported defamation suits of note which over the last ten years have reached the High Court of Uganda, but also to suggest the role played by this part of the law of tort in present day Uganda. In order to suggest the possible functions of the law in this period mainly the status of the parties, the circumstances giving rise to the suits, the dicta on the role of the law and the justifications of the awards made by the courts are presented.
