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.
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 The President & rsquo;s assent to CAMA 2020 repealed and replaced the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 1990 & ldquo;the Repealed Act & rdquo;).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 The Repealed Act which was designed after the English Companies Act 1985, was generally regarded as obsolete and unable to address key emerging business and investment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

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.
