certified under the seal of the country or sovereign, or by a recognition thereof in some law of Uganda; (d) public documents of any other class in a foreign country, by the original, or by a copy certified by the legal keeper of the document, with a certificate under the seal of a notary public, or of a foreign service officer, that the copy is duly certified by the officer having the legal custody of the original, and upon proof of the character of the document according to the law of the foreign country. In the first place the document was not certified by the legal keeper of the document neither was it notarised by a Notary Public. Even if it was a Ugandan document, in the absence of the officer who issued it, in the very least it should have been certified as a true copy of the original. Consent to admit the document by the parties cannot stop the court from being cautious about a document coming from a foreign country purporting to be part of the official record or report of an event that happened in a foreign jurisdiction. Be that as it may, the word "theft" has been used in the context of civil liability. It cannot be given a technical and exclusive definition. First of all, the word robbery was not used in the contract. I must also add that the word "stealing" was not used. The Cambridge International Dictionary of English defines theft as "dishonestly taking something which belongs to someone else and keeping it; stealing." On the other hand, the word "steal" has a separate definition and means "to take something without the permission or knowledge of the owner and keep it.… "steal" can also mean to do something quickly but trying not to be seen doing it.” In any case, if the word "theft" is given a technical meaning as provided for under the criminal law, it would not exclude other kinds of causation of loss under the general phrase "caused by the loss". The words "the loss", is alternative to or additional to the word "theft" and "damage". Because the phrase "the loss" is not defined, it covers other situations not expressly excluded by the contract. In view of my finding that the loss of the plaintiff's cargo is a loss envisaged by clause 6.1 of exhibit D1 it follows that the carrier who is the third-party is responsible to both Maersk Logistics and any customer for the loss. 51
