The applicant's request for provisional measures is moot because the cassation appeal he filed has a suspensive effect under Benin law, preventing execution of the contested judgments and any subsequent condemnation until the Supreme Court rules. Therefore, there is no urgency or risk of irreparable harm justifying provisional measures.
