The East African Court of Justice (EACJ), First Instance Division, recently delivered a significant ruling, granting an interim injunction staying the implementation of the Kenya-European Union Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which entered into force in July 2024, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive Reference.

In this legal alert, we analyse the EACJ's ruling, explore its legal and economic ramifications, and consider the crucial precedents it sets for regional integration.
