month not mouth

well, truth is that practice of law is not a proffession it is a trade. you have to be a hands-on person to survive. you must be a problem solver to thrive. if u do u will earn money on your own even at 6 months at the bar. in law nobody pays you money just to come and sit in an office cos even the seniors are constrained money wise. so be sharp learn wot u nid to learn and strike out onyour own, cherios

What might be the basis for their appeal? If you’re in Lagos, you might have access to the record of the judgment, assuming such documents are available to the general public. Are you an attorney based in Lagos?

Yes I'm a lawyer practising in lagos, and I happened to be in court on the day this judgment was read.
the judgment is available to the public, as all records of court proceedings are regarded as public document. any interested memeber of the public need only apply to the registrar of the paticular court, pay the prescribed fee and then a certified true copy (CTC) of the judt will be issued by the registrar.

the grounds of appeal are listed in the Court of Appeal Rules 2009. the list include
-that the trial Judge misdirected itself,
-that the court erred in law and/ or fact
-that the judt was perverse, etc.
the appellant can choose any of the grounds of appeal, it is not enough to say that they are merely unsatisfied with the judt, the Court of Appeal will def throw out such grounds.

The news reports did a poor job of reporting by not stating the breakdown of the judgment among the defendants (including the Nigerian navy). However, for the plaintiffs, the second phase of this case will be to seek an order of garnishee against the defendants, their paychecks, their bank accounts and other assets the court might throw into the mix. As I was informed, the garnishment order will give the plaintiffs the right to go after the defendants' bank accounts. And by court order, the banks must garnish the accounts to pay the plaintiffs.

If there is a Nigerian-based attorney in the house, please chime in and clarify my post.

indeed the applicant (ms okere) should move the court through a garnishee proceeding in order to enforce the judgment, however the 1st and 6th respondet (arogundada and the Nig Navy) have filed a notice of appeal which in itself is a stay of proceeding.
simply put, until the appeal is heard , no money can be paid/ newspaper publication by the party appealing, (save in some cicumstances)

all this is expected, the iraqis and other arabs went through the same s, t after 9/11. so nigerians should just chill, the al-qaeda will soon find another nationality to use,

body odour

what a waste
