Kitonto', the author offers his comment on the following aspects 1. The evolutionary nature of customary law; 2. The principles governing transfer of proceedings from the High Court to the Principal Court under the Buganda Courts Ordinance; 3. The current juristic basis for the application of customary law by the High Court in its original jurisdiction. |
