The Background. On 23rd October 1997 the appellant issued a writ of summons indorsed with a statement of Claim. The allegation was that the xxxxxxxxx engaged the respondent as an insurance consultant agent and/or broker to secure Insurance Coverage for certain Contract Works, and on 21st October 1996 the respondent issued to the appellant a Cover Slip purporting to provide the said insurance coverage. The Cover Slip was alleged to contain the following statement: “Principal: To be advised as required by contract.”. On the faith of the said Cover Slip the appellant paid the premium. The statement of claim alleged that “as indicated in the Defendant’s letter to the Plaintiff dated 20th December 1996 at the time of the signing of the said Cover Slip, there was no principal in existence for whom the Defendant acted.@ It was further alleged that during the currency of the Cover Slip the appellant=s property was damaged by flood causing special damages of $724,776.25 and general damages. In its defence which was dated the 1st December 1997, the respondent admitted the arrangement but added the somewhat mysterious sentence at the end of the admission “The Defendant will refer to the said letter and Cover Slip at the trial for their full terms and effect.” In response to the crucial allegation that there was no principal in existence the respondent pleaded - “The Defendant admits that it wrote a letter dated 21st December, 1996 to the Plaintiff but denies the interpretation placed on the words of that letter by the Plaintiff. The Defendant will refer to the said letter at the trial of this matter for its full terms and effect.” The other allegations of the defence were denial that the premium had been paid and non admittance of the damage alleged to have been suffered. Against this background on 10th February 1998, the appellant applied for Summary Judgment on the ground that there was no defence to the claim except as to the amount of damages. The application was supported by affidavit which exhibited the letter of 21st October and Cover Slip, the letter of 20th December and a receipt showing part payment of the premium. The letter of 20th December, 1996 stated that the insurance companies on whose behalf the cover note was issued on 21st October 1996, agreed to go on risk on 25th October 1996, and that they subsequently denied liability. That letter amounted to an admission that at the time the cover note was issued the alleged principals had not consented to be bound. Not unsu...

The Background. With regard to the international responses in the aftermath of the presiden- tial elections in 2006 and the DRC constitution several concerns and critics followed respectively, on the political transition in the country, on the wide- spread humanitarian violations, and on the corruption in the domestic insti- tutions. Scholars, human rights activists and practitioners claim that interna- tional actors have given little attention to the grave human rights breaches of the first two years of the Xxxxxx government. This brought as a result the fail- ure to hold accountable the perpetrators of these abuses. Although the UN presence took some steps to ensure political space for the opposition during the electoral transition, the institution-building assistance provided by the UN failed to check on the executive power, even though some Congolese analysts were voicing concerns about the authoritarian shift well in advance. In 2007, some Congolese media ran an opinion about the brutal behavior of the government. Questioning the electoral process and its bloody after- math in Kinshasa and Bas Congo, the author lamented without releasing his identity “we were ardently searching to become a democracy, but we are on our way to becoming an absurd dictatorship”.9 According to human rights activists, the elections themselves cannot bring democracy. Both the “Congolese and international actors must work to establish an independent judiciary and a vibrant parliament with an effective opposition to improve human rights, hold the executive to account for its actions, and counterbal- ance the restriction of political convergence. The failure to establish such counterweights will endanger the slight chance of Congo’s young democra- cy. The same kind of focus and international cooperation that brought about the elections must be replicated in the cause of improving human rights and opening up democratic space, if the hopes for stability and improved xxxxx- xxxxx for this war-torn nation are to be fulfilled”.10 One of the biggest negative aspects of reliance on the ICC in the DRC is that the Court’s temporal jurisdiction means that it cannot address all of the crimes committed during the civil wars in the DRC. This has been heavi- ly criticized. The obvious expectation is that the domestic judicial capacity would arrange proceedings in situ undermining the regime of impunity in 9 An amnesty law was signed by President Xxxxxx on 7 May 2009. For the debate and lack of trust to Xxxx...
