The East African Court of Justice Rules of Procedure 2013
(5) A penalty imposed under this Rule shall be
enforceable as an order in accordance with Article 44 of the
Treaty.
(6) Summons under this Rule shall be in accordance
with Form 7 in the Second Schedule and shall be served in the
manner prescribed for service of notification.
57. (1) A party calling a witness shall be responsible for the
witness’s expenses.
(2) A party applying for summons shall, before the
summons is issued, pay into Court such sum of money as
appears to the Registrar to be sufficient to defray the travelling
and other expenses of the person summoned in passing to and
from the Court, and for one day’s attendance.
(3) In the case of any person summoned to give
evidence as an expert, the Registrar may allow reasonable
remuneration for the time spent both in giving evidence and in
performing any work on the case.
(4) Where it is proved to the satisfaction of the Registrar
that the money deposited into Court to cover such expenses or
reasonable remuneration is insufficient, the Registrar may require
the party who applied for the summons to pay such further sum
which appears to be necessary on that account.
(5) In case of default in payment of further sum under
sub-rule (4), the Court may order such sum to be levied by
attachment and sale of the movable property of the defaulting
party; or the Court may discharge the person summoned without
requiring him or her to give evidence; or may both order such
levy and discharge such person as aforesaid.
(6) The expenses of the witness appearing before the
Court under sub-rule (3) of Rule 56 shall be borne by the Court.
