Attorney General::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Respondent.

  1.  Summary of Court Findings.

The Constitutional Court emphasized that;

  1. The Constitution does not negate the rules of procedure under Article 126 (2) (e), but rather it is a time table within which certain steps ought to be take.
  2. Parties ought to be concerned with the limitation periods for different causes of action.
  3. The Constitutional Court has jurisdiction under Article 137, and not enforcement of human rights under Article 50.

  2. Redress, including compensation and costs of the petition.
  •  Key Findings of the Court.
