Application was filed on 20 June 2018 – a period of four (4) year thus elapsed. However, the Court also notes that the Applicant filed an application for review of the Court of Appeal’s decision, which was dismissed on 25 August 2017. The period between the dismissal of the Applicant’s application for review and filing before this Court, therefore, is nine (9) months and twenty-six (26) days. 48. In its jurisprudence, the Court has held that applicants who file review proceedings against apex court decisions must do so within the applicable statutory frameworks and should not be penalised for utilising an avenue available within the legal system.13 In the present case, the Court notes, from the record, that the Applicant’s application for review bears a serial number from 2014 which indicates that it was filed within the same year after the Court of Appeal had dismissed his appeal. 49. The Court also notes that the Applicant represented himself at all stages of proceedings before domestic courts and is doing same in the present proceedings.14 The Court finds, therefore, that the reasonableness of time for filing, in this case, must be computed from the date on which the Court of Appeal dismissed the Applicant’s application for review. It thus holds that the period of nine (9) months and twenty-six (26) days that it took the Applicant to file this Application is reasonable within the meaning of Rule 50(2)(f).15 50. The Court also finds that the Application does not concern a case which has already been settled by the Parties in accordance with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, the Constitutive Act of the African Union, the provisions of the Charter or of any legal instrument of the African Union in fulfilment of Rule 50(2)(g) of the Rules. 13 Leonard Moses v.
