    The Effectiveness of the Legal Framework that Regulates Bail in the High Court of Uganda
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-30) Ian Kiyegga
    The research is on the Effectiveness of the Legal Framework on Bail Application in the High Court of Uganda. It examines the Constitutional and statutory provisions governing bail application in the High Court of Uganda, focusing on how the High Court has practically applied the law when determining bail applications and the impact of their decisions on the principle of bail application in the High Court. The research explores the balance between the accused’s right to bail and the safety or security of society. The legal framework grants the High Court broad discretion, which it has used in determining the bail application for capital offenses, and in turn, affected the effectiveness of the legal framework on bail application in the High Court of Uganda. Other factors also affect the effectiveness of the legal framework in determining bail applications in the High Court of Uganda, and these are the non-legal factors as discussed in the research.
