Procedure ° Interpretation of a judgment ° Conditions governing admissibility of the application

(Rules of Procedure of the Court of First Instance, Art. 129)

Summary

An application for interpretation of a judgment must, in order to be admissible, concern the operative part of the judgment in question, together with the essential grounds, and seek to resolve an obscurity or ambiguity that may affect the meaning or scope of that judgment, in so far as the Court was required to decide the particular case before it.

Such an application is therefore inadmissible where it relates to matters not decided by the judgment concerned or seeks to obtain from the Court in question an opinion on the application, implementation or consequences of its judgment.
