The Article provides as follows. Article 23(1) says: “The High Court has jurisdiction in accordance with Article 165 to hear and determine applications for redress of a denial, violation or infringement of or threat to the right or fundamental freedom in the Bill of Rights.” Article 165(2) is not relevant for our purposes. Article 165(3) says:- “In any proceedings brought under Article 22, the court may grant appropriate relief including (a) a declaration of rights (b) an injunction (c) a conservatory order (d) a declaration of invalidity of any law that denies, violates, infringes or threatens a right or fundamental freedom in the Bill of Rights and is not justified under Article 24 and (e) an order for compensation; (f) an order of judicial review.” Order, hon. Members! I will have to pause again to allow those Members at the bar to come in."
