PROCEDURE Jurisdiction Contentious cases The Court no has appellate jurisdiction The African Court does not have jurisdiction to hear appeals from national courts (Ernest Francis Mtingwi v Republic of Malawi, application 001/2013, decision, 15 March 2013, paras 14-16). This however, does not preclude the Court from examining whether the procedure before national courts are consistent with the international standards established by the Charter or other applicable human rights instruments’ (Alex Thomas v United Republic of Tanzania, application 005/2013, judgment, 20 November 2015, para 130; Abubakari Mohamed v The United Republic of Tanzania, Merits, Application 007/2013, 3 June 2016, para 25)
