Costs 124. We are alive to the provisions of Rule 111 of the Rules of this Court which provides that “costs in any proceedings shall follow the event unless the Court shall, for good reasons, otherwise order”. 125. We believe that in the filing and prosecution of this Reference the Applicant’s objective was to highlight, contest and cause resolution to an issue of regional concern rather than to seek material restitution, for his six hour ordeal, from the Republic of Uganda. We think he has achieved that. 126. It is our belief also that the physical and emotional distress he was subjected to, while tucked away and chilling unnecessarily at Entebbe International Airport, stung the human rights activist in him into seeking to prevent it from happening to another citizen of a Partner State. We would hope he has achieved this or, at any rate, made his contribution to its achievement. 127. Finally, we have no doubt that the issues raised and determined in this Reference will enrich and benefit Community jurisprudence, courtesy of the Applicant. 128. In view of the foregoing, we find that this Reference qualifies as a public interest and a fitting one where each party should bear their costs. Whether the Applicant is entitled to the prayers sought. 129. In light of the above considerations and findings, prayers i, ii, iii, and iv are granted. Prayer v is not granted.
