The applicant Mr Okiya Omtatah, an interested party in this matter, filed a notice of preliminary objection on May 31, 2016.

He argued that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the present matter since all the judges of the court have either supported or opposed the contention that judges appointed under the repealed Constitution should retire upon attaining the age of 70.
