Procedure
15. The Secretariat received the Complaint on 16 April 2016 and acknowledged
receipt of the same.
16. The Commission was seized of this Communication during the 20th Extra
Ordinary Session held from 09 to June 18 2016, in Banjul, The Gambia, following
which the decision on seizure was transmitted to both parties.
17. On 06 June 2016 and 17 June 2016 respectively, the Secretariat informed both
Parties of its decision to be seized of the Communication. The letter to the
Complainants requested submission of arguments on the admissibility of the
Communication within two months of the notification, as stipulated in Rule 105(1)
of the Rules of Procedure (2010).
18. On 17 May 2021, the Secretariat informed the Complainants that the
Communication would be tabled for striking out for want of diligent prosecution,
on account of the Complainant's failure to respond to the Commission's request
for submissions on the admissibility of the Communication, and further that the
deadline for doing so had passed.
Analysis of the Commission on Strike Out:
19. Rule 105(1) of the Commission's Rule of Procedure (2010) provides that when the
Commission is seized of a Complaint, it shall request the Complainant to present
evidence and arguments on the admissibility of the Communication within two
(2) months.
20. Additionally, Rule 113 of the Commission's Rules of Procedure (2010) provides
that when a deadline is fixed for a particular submission, either Party may apply
to the Commission for an extension of the stipulated period and the Commission
may grant the said application.
