Protocol A/P.I/7/91 on the Community Court of Justice

Article 25: Application for Revision1. An application for revision for a decision may be made only when it is based upon the discovery of some fact of such a nature as to be a decisive factor, which fact was, when the decision was given, unknown to the Court and also to the party claiming revision, provided always that such ignorance was not due to negligence.2. The proceedings for revision shall be opened by a decision of the Court expressly recording the existence of the new fact, recognising that it has such a character as to lay the case open to revision and declaring the application admissible on this ground.3. The Court may require prior compliance with the terms of the decision before it admits proceedings in revision.4. No application for revision may be after five (5) years from the date of decision.5. The decision of the Court has no binding force except between the parties and in respect of that particular case.
