shirima v ag of burundi and ors application 11 of 2016 2017 eacj 112 6 july 2017

The applicant failed to demonstrate irreparable injury or a prima facie case warranting an interlocutory injunction. The court has jurisdiction to interpret alleged violations of the Treaty, but the application did not meet the threshold for injunctive relief. The supporting affidavit's minor defect did not render the application incompetent. No restraining orders were justified as the EPA process was not imminent and the Summit had already paused further signatures.
