Case Head Notes: The communication arose from the eviction of SARL METIS and Madame Etouman Hélène Adèle from commercial premises following domestic court proceedings in Cameroon. Although the OHADA Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA) later quashed the national appellate decision ordering the eviction, the complainants alleged that officials of the Supreme Court of Cameroon refused to register a second application for a stay of execution and unreasonably delayed affixing the executory formula to the CCJA judgment. They argued that these actions denied them access to justice and prevented them from obtaining the benefit of the favourable CCJA judgment. On the merits, the African Commission held that Cameroon violated Article 7(1)(a) by denying the complainants effective access to justice through the refusal to receive and process their application, and violated Article 7(1)(d) because the executory formula for the CCJA judgment was not issued within a reasonable time. As a consequence of these violations, the Commission also found a violation of Article 1 of the African Charter. However, it declined to find separate violations of Articles 25 and 26, and did not determine a violation of Article 3. The Commission recommended that Cameroon provide appropriate reparations, with the assessment of monetary compensation to be undertaken by the national courts.
