Provided that the Court’s jurisdiction to interpret under this paragraph shall not include the application of any such interpretation to jurisdiction conferred by the Treaty on organs of Partner States. 2. The Court shall have such other original, appellate, human rights and other jurisdiction as will be determined by the Council at a suitable subsequent date. To this end, the Partner States shall conclude a protocol to operationalize the extended jurisdiction.” 55. In view of the above, it is obvious that once a matter involves the interpretation and application of the provisions of the Treaty, such matter falls ipso jure within the jurisdiction of the East African Court of Justice (jurisdiction ratione materiae, namely, jurisdiction over the nature of the case and the type of relief sought). 56. Another test to meet in the assessment of the jurisdiction of the East African Court of Justice is found under Article 30 of the Treaty which provides for the jurisdiction ratione materiae, jurisdiction ratione persona (i.e. persons/litigants) and jurisdiction ratione temporis (i.e. territory) as follows:“1. Subject to the provision of Article 27 of this Treaty, any person who is a resident in a Partner State may refer for determination by the Court, the legality of any Act, regulation, directive, decision, or action of a Partner State or an institution of the Community on the grounds that such Act, regulation, directive, decision or action is unlawful or is an infringement of the Treaty” 18
