Prof. Anyang' Nyong'o & Ors v Attorney General of Kenya & Ors (No. 2) [2007] EACJ Reference No. 1 of 2006.

One of the fundamental cases of EAC law. In 2006, Kenya sent 9 representatives to the EALA who had been 'selected' from a list of nominees in line with national law. /1

In the Factortame cases...the ECJ held that the effectiveness of Community law would be impaired if a rule of national law could prevent a court seized of a dispute governed by Community law from granting an interim relief [even if such relief was unavailable in national law] / 9
