Breaking The Ice: How Plaintiffs May Establish Premises Liability In "Black Ice" Cases Where The Dangerous Condition Is By Definition Not Visible Or Apparent To The Property Owner, Hon. Mark Dillon
Hon. Mark C. Dillon

Matters of customary proof exemplify this disconnect. Ugandan methods of customary proof are the product of British colonial precedent. Despite longstanding calls for revised approaches, little has changed since Uganda’s independence in 1962. The colonially crafted framework of customary proof devalues custom and culture.
