ISSUE 4: WHETHER THIS COURT HAS COMPETENCE TO DECLARE THE JUDGEMENTS OF NATIONAL COURT NULL AND VOID. Finally, the Applicants urged this Court to declare the decision of the national Court of the Gambia null and void. This Court has in its flourishing jurisprudence held that it lacks the jurisdiction to sit on appeal over decisions of National Courts. In BAKARY SARRE & 28 ORS V. THE REPUBLIC OF MALI (2011), ECW/CCJ/JUD/03/11 the Court in determining the application filed by the Applicants held that: “The said application substantially seeks to obtain from the Court a reversal of judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of Mali and seeks to project the Court of Justice of ECOWAS as a Court of cassation over the Supreme Court of Mali. Viewed from that angle, the Court declared that it had no jurisdiction to adjudicate on the matter.” Also in OCEAN KING V. REPUBLIC OF SENEGAL (2011)ECW/CCJ/JUD/07/11 Para 66 @ page 161.The Court reiterated its position to the effect that it does not compose itself as an appellate court over decisions of National courts. See also SIKIRU ALADE V. FEDERAL REP. OF NIGERIA (2012) ECW/CCJ/JUD/10/12; MUSA LEO KEITA V. MALI (2007) ECW/CCJ/JUD/03/07 @ pg. 72 para 26; DR. JERRY UGOKWE V. FRN & 1 OR, (2005) ECW/CCJ/JUD/03/05. The Court therefore aligns itself to its precedents and holds that it lacks the powers to declare the decision of the national Court of the Respondent null and void.
