Summary
Introduction
This chapter focuses on African Regional Trade Agreement (RTA) judiciaries. African RTAs entertain a broad range of disputes from an extremely broad category of litigants. They are not simply custodians of the trading arrangements – in fact, they do much less dispute settlement around trade issues compared to the broad range of cases they have assumed jurisdiction over. Many of these judiciaries, as we shall see, have also often entertained cases that are well beyond their treaty-defined jurisdictional bases.
