- 19 - As to Admissibility of the Suit 10.1. Declares that the Application be ruled inadmissible and hence denied because the conditions-precedent to the invocation of the benefits of Article 25 of the Protocol have not been satisfied. 10.2. Further to the above, the Court finds and holds that there are no new issues of law or fact in this present Application which were not also included in the Originating Application which would warrant this Court reviewing, revising, and/or reversing its previous judgment and traversing the awards made in the previous judgment As to Competency of the Parties 10.3. The Court, on its own motion, determines that it was totally unnecessary to have listed the President of the ECOWAS Commission and the Chairman of the Committee of Governors of ECOWAS member Central Banks as parties Respondent/Defendant, because they are not proper parties against whom complaints for human rights violations can be brought. Accordingly, the names of the 3rd and 4th Respondents/Defendants are hereby struck out and removed from this case and they are hence dropped as misjoined parties. As to Costs 10.4. The Court rules that costs are and shall be assessed for the Defendants against the Plaintiff/Applicant in accordance with Article 66 of the Rules of this Court.. Thus made, adjudged and pronounced in a public hearing at Abuja, this 02nd day of December, A.D. 2015 by the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States.
