Annex
Cases example from the Constitutional Court of Seychelles.
I. Case 1/1999
Noella Lajoie Versus The Government of Seychelles (represented by the AG) and the
Attorney General
Petition under Art 46.1 of the Constitution alleging a contravention of Art 18.3 and 18.5
thereof; the respondents have raised preliminary objections under rule 9 of the
Constitutional Courts Rules averring that the petition has been filed out of time.
The issue before this Court is whether the 30 days period of limitation should commence
from the day she was arrested or the day when she became a free person. If it is the former,
the petition is out of time but if it is the latter, the petition has been filed well within time.
