Case No.
SCAPPL/33/2020
RATIONALE
The reasoning of the court was based on the limited power of the court to review or entertain an appeal of its own decision. Where an application did not disclose any of the grounds in the test for judicial review of a Supreme Court decision, it could no longer be entertained. This is in line with the principle of res judicata which bars the re-opening of a matter that has already been decided by a competent court or body.
RELEVANCE
If an arbitral matter has already been concluded at the highest court of the land, it may not be subject to further review where it does not disclose any merits for judicial review of a Supreme Court decision.
