Reserve Judgement is a legal term not too many people are familiar with, below is all you need to know about this term.

Q : What does it mean that the court has reserved its judgment?
A : When a court reserves the judgment, it means the matter has been kept in abeyance for a while. This is done after all
the parties have completed their arguments and all the written submissions have been filed in the court.

Q: Why do judges reserve a judgment?
A : The judges reserve a judgment so they can write a judgment. One must understand that a judgment is not a single page order of few lines, the judgment contains the summery of arguments of
both the parties, the law of the land, previous judgments on the issue, conclusion and the reasons for arriving on that conclusion. Judges need time to refresh in their memory, the arguments of
each party, do research by reading previous judgments and judgments on similar issues
in other countries and finally think about the reasons for arriving on a particular conclusion. This entire excersise is very laborious and time consuming.

Q : What is the normal timeframe in which a judgment should ideally be delivered?
A : There is no fixed timeframe for the judges to write judgments but six months is considered to be a reasonable time for passing a judgment. If a judge keeps a
judgment reserved for more than six months, any of the party can mention to the Chief Justice about this.

Q : What happens to a reserved judgment if the judge retires?
A : If anything like this happens, the new bench will hear the matter afreash. A judge can not sign/pronounce a judgment after
he retires.

Q : Is it necessary for a judge to reserve judgment in every case?
A : No! Its not at all necessary for a judge to reserved judgment in all the cases. Generally the court reserved judgments in cases of
extreme public importance, cases which will have greater impact on the polity of Nigeria, cases in whcih the courts are laying down
some new law etc. In many cases, judges deliver the same day the arguments are complete.

Well at least you admitted that nobody is going to do anything because there was no damn case in the first place. The Republicans wanted to used this kind of skewed approach against barrack Obama, but their plan failed woefully.

Like I said earlier, if I were to be the President, I would have made sure that the lawyer that filed this malicious case spend the rest of his life in Guantanamo

Mylove55:

nwadiuko1:
you are right about "political head" but even ministers and commissioners have their tax deducted @ source.......infact most public and private employers serve as agents to tax authorities..........its only business men who pay their tax by themselves

MadamExcellency:
Actually that is what Okezie is claiming happened but the suspicion arises from the haste the document was compiled and reproduced coupled with mistakes on the said clearance certificate signifying certain exception to the rules.

Notwithstanding, I believe the document is not Okezie's business to defend rather the onus lies on the issuing State agency to either defend, set aside or disprove.

nwadiuko1:
I think a commissioner is the head of a department followed maybe by the HOD and then perm second (I stand to be corrected) and ASEPA as it stands is under the ministry of environment...........Asepa staff pay their tax at the source just like any other civil servant

nwadiuko1:
sir if he was not a civil servant under Abia state environmental protection agency (aba zone) what was he a military servant? business man?, please tell me, I might learn one or two

nwadiuko1:
if you don't know that civil servants have their taxes deducted @ source then.

OP the cap is famously worn by Dakuku Peterside, and it is popular in Opobo.

1shortblackboy:
That cap is not a famously unique cap to amaechi. It is worn by people from opobo and he copied it from Dakuku
