Court
Court of Appeal of Uganda
Case number
Miscellaneous Application No. 139 of 2019
Judge
Musoke, JA, Muhanguzi, JA, Kasule, JA
The application was dismissed on two independent grounds.

Second, on the merits, the applicant did not demonstrate that the intended appeal raised a question of law of great public or general importance. The issue identified—whether the Court of Appeal could rely on the testimony of a witness regarding the contents of a handwriting expert's report…
The African Court held that two intervention applications by private individuals were inadmissible because the Protocol allows intervention only by States, and the filing was late.
