48. Article 63 of the Court's Rules of Procedure states that: “Without
prejudice to the provisions relating to the interpretation of judgments the
Court may, of its own motion or on application by a party made within one
month after the delivery of a judgment, rectify clerical mistakes, errors in
calculation and obvious slips in it.”
(…)”
47. Furthermore, Article 64 of the Rules of the Court further states that:
“Where the Court omits to give a decision on a specific head of claim or on
costs, any party may within a month after service of the judgment apply to
the Court to supplement its judgment.
(2) (…)”
(3) After these observations have been lodged, the Court shall decide both
on the admissibility and on the substance of the application.”
50. This means that, in both situations, the legal time limit required for the
admissibility of applications is thirty days, although this time limit may be
extended pursuant to Article 64(2) of the Rules of Court.
51. In the instant case, the Judgment having been rendered on June 28, 2019,
the Applicant filed the application in question on February 13, 2020, the date
on which it was registered at the Registry of this Court, i.e., more than 7
months after the rendering of the Judgment and more than six (6) months
after the expiration of the legal deadline of one month to do so.
52. However, in the original application, the Applicant sought an extension
of the time limit to file the application in question, which was granted by the
Court.
