The Petitioners wants Appellate Division of the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) to order the First Instance Division of the EACJ to hear their petition challenging EACOP project.
The Court held that the applicants should have filed the case as early as 2017, rather than in 2020 and as a result, the court does not have jurisdiction to hear the matter. The ruling means that the applicants cannot proceed with the merits of the case.
