That is apparent from the fact that, after the two applications were dismissed in the High Court and the Constitutional Court on the basis of procedure followed, the Complainant approach~d the Commission without exercising the options he still has open within thelpc~l judicial system, including the option to bring an application before the High Court through normal court rules, after it was found that his matter lacks urgency and could not be placed on the urgent relief court roll. In light of those fastp, the COmmission concludes that the Complainant still has options to have his ca~e}l.eard by domestic courts, by following the normal course of applications thorough ,the hierarchy of Courts as provided for in terms of, Section 166 of the',Gonstitllqon of the 'Respondent State before submitting his :EqmmunicatioR;tb the Commission, to avoid depriving the Respondent State'~ cQurts of ~riop~ortunity to ~a!dress the alleged ',i '" .' violations, as the principle of comple~nentaritY;;fequires . .' 4 .. . 57.

Against that background and in light of such findings, the Commission concludes that the Complainant has not exhausted local remedies as required in terms of Article 56 (5) of the African Charter.
