Introduction To Nigerian Labour Law By Sam Erugo

This paper presents Labour Law as a branch of learning and specialty of the general law of contract.It pertains to contract of employment but possessing some peculiar features that make it an interesting area of study. Incidentally Nigerian law did not develop early in this area leaving the course apparently unexplored to a great extent. One certain result of this position is the dearth of local authorities, particularly textbooks on the subject as taught in our Universities. This work while pretending to be introducing a course in labour law, apart from adequately highlighting and analyzing the rudimentary rules, has sufficiently delved into all the vital topics in contract of employment and the law relating to industrial relations. Keywords: Contract of service, contract of employment, industrial relations

Introduction To International Law By U.O.Umozurike - 4th Editon 2020 Paperback

The Inter-American human rights system is one of the major regional human rights systems globally. In spite of the availability of human rights instruments in the region, some of which are legally binding, the spate of human rights abuse still leaves a sad commentary. The objective of this paper therefore is to take a critical survey of the human rights instruments in the region with a view to assessing their strengths and constraints. The method of research is basically doctrinal and utilizes the major human rights instruments in the region such as the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS), the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of man, and the American Convention on Human Rights in its evaluation. It is the finding of the paper that the Inter-American system indeed has a number of positive features such as the emphasis placed on democratic governance and third party interventions in the adjudicatory process among others. The paper has also identified a number of weaknesses in the system including that the Inter-American Commission lacks the power to refer a case to the Inter-American Court where the State concerned has not ratified the American Convention on Human Rights; and further, the Commission & rsquo;s recommendations are not legally binding. Therefore, the paper recommended among other things that the Commission be able to transmit a case directly to the Court whether or not the party concerned has ratified the American Convention.

Principles Of Garnishee Proceedings In Nigeria By Ekemini Udim - 2nd Edition - 2015 Paperback

Have you ever secured a money judgment against a person or body and he/she/it refuses to pay? There are legal options you can explore to get your money. Options like Fieri Facias (fi.fa.), attachment of assets (moveable or immovable), imprisonment, garnishee proceedings etc.Below is a brief description of the garnishee proceedings as curled from "Principles of Garnishee Proceedings in Nigeria". A book written by Ekemini Udim esq." In our day-to-day interactions with fellow humans and corporate entities, debts are daily incurred. It is either a government is indebted to a contractor who has successfully executed some contracts for the government or the contractor is himself indebted to his workers. The banks could also be indebted to their external solicitors who have successfully completed authorized searches, litigations and perfection of instruments for the bank. A business partner could also be indebted to a fellow partner. A successful litigant may also be owed the judgment sum by the judgment debtor. The list is endless and can only be better imagined.In most cases, it is the practice for the party that is owed to approach the debtor for payment of debt. This could be in the form of verbal or written solicitations. Where this fails, the legal option open to the creditor is for him to approach a court of law for an order directing the debtor to pay up his debt. This could be by way of undefended list procedure or writ of summons or any other applicable originating process. Where the creditor successfully pushes his way through and obtains an order of court directing the debtor to pay up his debt, the next hurdle for the judgment creditor is how to enforce the order of court and have his debt paid. This is where garnishee proceedings become the most suitable legal machinery through which a judgment creditor can successfully obtain his money from his debtor.A garnishee proceeding is a process of enforcing money judgment by the seizure or attachment of the funds of the judgment debtor, which funds is in the hands or custody of the third party otherwise referred to as & ldquo;the garnishee & rdquo;. By this process, a court of law is competent to order a third party in whose hands or custody the funds of the judgment debtor is, to pay over to the judgment creditor, the debt due or accruing due from him to the judgment debtor or as much of it as may be sufficient to satisfy the judgment debt and the costs of the garnishee proceedings. If it is timeously carried out and effectively executed, garnishee proceedings is one of the surest ways through which judgment creditors can successfully obtain his money from a recalcitrant or stubborn debtor".

Practice Manual On Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure In Nigeria By A.i Ogbuabia

The article traces the evolution of FREP rules in Nigeria and highlights the problems which gave rise to FREP Rules, 2009. The article discusses the new rules and acknowledges that their objectives are laudable. For instance, the new Rules had to a large extent solved the thorny issues of how to commence human rights actions, expensive filing costs, service and limitation of action. However, the article notes that it is unusual for Rules of Court to have a preamble. The FREP Rules, 2009, therefore, depart from the usual standard. The fact that the laudable objectives of the FREP Rules are contained in a preamble may minimise their legal effect since preambles do not have the same legal force as substantive provisions. What is more, a number of provisions of the Rules are inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution of Nigeria, 1999, and stand the risk of being declared null and void to the extent of their inconsistency in adversarial proceedings. There are a few provisions in the FREP Rules, 2009, which may be adverse to the interest of victims of human right violations compared to the FREP Rules, 1979. These include the abolition of application for leave of court and the requirement to front-load evidence together with a written address before commencing an action.

Introduction To Company Law & Practice With Company And Allied Matters Act 2020 By Chris C. Wigwe

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday 7 August 2020, assented to the Companies and Allied Matters Bill ( & ldquo;CAMA 2020 & rdquo;, & ldquo;the Act & rdquo;), recently passed by the National Assembly. The President & rsquo;s assent to CAMA 2020 repealed and replaced the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 1990 & ldquo;the Repealed Act & rdquo;). The Act is viewed as a welcome development and an attempt to add vigour to government & rsquo;s economic reforms and ongoing initiatives on the ease of doing business in Nigeria. The Repealed Act which was designed after the English Companies Act 1985, was generally regarded as obsolete and unable to address key emerging business and investment issues. The Act has introduced sweeping reforms to the administration of compaies Notably, the Act provides for the registration of private companies with a single member or shareholder, single directorship for private companies, Limited Liability pPrtnerships, Limited Partnerships, and reduced registration fees for small companies. The Act further makes elaborate provisions for the administration, compromise, voluntary arrangements, netting and schemes of contract to ensure the sustainability of businesses and a formal cessation process. Furthermore, the Act abrogates the need for statements of compliance, replaces the concept of & ldquo;authorized share capital & rdquo; with & ldquo;minimum share capital & rdquo; to reduce the cost of incorporation. The CAMA 2020 also allows for electronic filing of forms and resolutions, electronic share transfers, electronic signatures, as well as virtual general meetings by private companies. In this edition of our newsletter, we have addressed the major alterations and innovations introduced by the Act under the following key headings: & bull; The Corporate Affairs Commission & bull; Incorporation of Companies and Incidental Matters & bull; Limited Liability Partnership & bull; Limited Partnership & bull; Incorporated Trustees

Civil Litigation In Nigeria 4th Edition - 2022 By Maureen Stanley - Idum Mrs - Hardcover

The quality of justice is found in its efficacy while the promptness of justice determines its effect. Hence, the aphorism, & ldquo;justice delayed is justice denied & rdquo;.It is well known fact that the justice system in Nigeria, like many developing countries, is like igniting a snail on a hundred-kilometer journey. The problem of delay in justice is compounded in an unforeseen period like the world & rsquo;s current state of the Coronavirus pandemic. By virtue of the national lock-down, the justice system has been on a halt and as such, every aspect of life which is tied to a virile judicial system is also affected. The aim of this paper therefore, is an attempt to analyse how technology can be employed for an effective justice delivery system while the pandemic situation persists. This exercise beginswithan examination of the legal provisions available in Nigerian law to meet the demands for a technological-driven effective justice system. This is done by analysing the various provisions of the Evidence Act, High Courts Civil Procedure Rules, Administration of Criminal Justice Laws of States, Courts & rsquo; Practice Directions and other relevant provisions. Hence, the thrust of this paper is to elicit palpable elixirs aimed to achieve the decongestion of courts and improve access both during emergencies such as the COVID-19 situation and in the normal course of justice delivery thereafter.
