Reference of questions of law

Section 295(3) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(3) Where any question as to the interpretation or application of this constitution arises in any proceedings in the Court of Appeal and the court is of opinion that the question involves a substantial question of law, the court may, and shall if any party to the proceedings so requests, refer the question to the Supreme Court which shall give its decision upon the question and give such directions to the Court of Appeal as it deems appropriate.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
