GROUND BREAKING
The hand that sets the criminal process in motion cannot hide behind the State.
A complainant cannot escape liability merely because the criminal case was prosecuted by the DPP. If you instigate, procure, or become the moving force behind a prosecution, the law will hold you accountable.
“A defendant need not be the formal prosecutor for liability to attach. What matters is whether the defendant was in substance the person responsible for the prosecution…”
Richard Mwami v Attorney General & MTN Uganda Ltd, Civil Suit No. 440 of 2018
