this concept includes all movables and immovable, corporeal and incorporeal elements and any other intangible object capable of having value. In the instant case, the Applicant states that the judgment sum awarded to it by the national court amounts to property and that the failure of the Respondent to pay the judgment debt tantamount to an infringement of his right to property in the sum of money being the judgment debt contrary to Article 14 of the ACHPR and Articles 11, 20 (a) and 21 (b) of the Respondent’s Constitution.

In the instant case, none of the parties have raised this issue and the Applicant is not challenging the fact that there is a pending appeal before the Supreme Court of Liberia.
