IV.15- In light of these developments, it appears that the appeal by Mr AMOUSSOU is out of time; It follows therefore that the applicant is time-barred; it is appropriate in these circumstances to declare his application inadmissible; - As to the Costs IV.22- Article 66.2 of the Community Court of Justice, ECOWAS states that “The unsuccessful party shall be ordered to pay the costs if they have been applied for in the successful party’s pleadings”. In this case, the applicant's action will not prosper; In addition, the Republic of Benin has expressly requested the order for costs; Therefore it is applicable to order the applicant to bear the cost; FOR THESE REASONS The Court adjudicating in open Court and after hearing both parties pursuant to general principles of law, in first and last resort; Receives the motion of inadmissibility raised by the Republic of Benin against Mr AMOUSSOU’s case; Declare it well founded; Declare that Mr AMOUSSOU inadmissible in his action; Order the applicant to bear the cost; THUS DONE, ADJUDGED AND DELIVERED IN PUBLIC HEARING, AT THE SEAT OF THE COURT ABUJA, THIS DAY 23 APRIL 2015; SIGNED: - Honourable Judge Jerome Traore, - Honourable Judge Hamèye Founé Mahalmadane, - Honourable Judge Alioune Sall, Presiding, Judge Rapporteur, Member; - Assisted by Mr Athanase ATANNON, Registrar. 9
