Nijimbere v The Secretary General East African Community (Application 8 of 2015) [2015] EACJ 66 (11 November 2015) (First Instance Division)

Court

East African Court of Justice

Case number

Application 8 of 2015

Judge

Jundu JA, Lenaola JA, Mugenyi JA, Ngiye JA, Ntezilyayo JA

The Court, having considered the pleadings and arguments of both parties, found that it was neither judicious, necessary, nor desirable to grant the interim orders sought by the Applicant. The urgency of the recruitment process and the stage at which it stood did not justify the suspension or relaunch of the process through interim relief. The Court exercised its discretion under Rule 68(3) to deliver its decision immediately, reserving detailed reasons for a later date. The application for interim orders was therefore disallowed.
