Treaty Article	Article 30 , Article 35 , Article 48 , Article 50 , Article 51 , Article 9 , Articles of EAC Treaty

Verdict	Resolving a conflict of law is not a matter for review. At the conclusion of a successful review the Court will rectify its decision accordingly. In the present case that would mean to reverse our decision and deal with the application. But we cannot clothe ourselves with jurisdiction to deal with the matter when we are convinced that we do not have such jurisdiction. The Application was dismissed with costs.
