Costs
The plaintiff has prayed for costs. However, since the plaintiff was unable to prove that all
the impounded art works infringed upon her art works, I accordingly award half the costs
claimed.
In conclusion judgment is entered in favour of the plaintiff against the defendant for;
1. Ug.Shs.5,000,000/= for general damages and interest there on 8% p.a. from
the date filing until payment in full
2. Ug. Shs. 5,000,000/= is paid by the defendant to the plaintiff as exemplary
damages with interest at 8% p.a. from the date of payment until payment in
full for breach of copy right of the art pieces.
3. A permanent injunction restraining the defendant or her agents or servants
from reproducing, assembling and distributing artistic copies of the plaintiff‟s
copy right works
4. The destruction of the infringing works but the rest may be returned to the
defendant.
5. Having succeeded in part in the suit I award half of the costs of the suit to be
paid by the defendant.
6. The counterclaim is dismissed with costs.
