ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE FEDERATION REMOVES REQUIREMENT FOR NBA STAMP AND SEAL, AMENDS RPC- BY OLIVER OMOREDIA The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami SAN has amended the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners (RPC) 2007 and the new amendments have far reaching implications for the landscape of law practice in Nigeria! The Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners (Amendment) Rules made on the 3rd of September 2020 has deleted key provisions of the RPC, including the rule mandating the use of NBA Stamp and Seal by Legal Practitioners, and provisions requiring lawyers acting for Government, ministries or corporations to pay Annual Bar Practicing fees. This write up considers the powers to make the amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners and the far-reaching implications of the amendments to the landscape of law practice in Nigeria. POWER TO AMEND THE RPC It is unclear where the power to make and amend the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners is derived. The RPC 2007 in its commencement notes that the power is vested on the Attorney General and derives from section 12 (4) of the Legal Practitioners Act, 1990. Similarly, the new amendment is stated to be made pursuant to Section 12 (4) of the Legal Practitioners Act, Cap L11, LFN 2004. The RPC 2007 states in its commencement as follows: “In exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 12(4) of the Legal Practitioners Act 1990, as amended, and of all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I, BAYO OJO, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice/Chairman, General Council of the Bar hereby make the following Rules” Similarly, the 2020 amendment states in its commencement: “In exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 12(4) of the Legal Practitioners Act Cap L11, LFN 2004 and of all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I, Abubakar Malami, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and President, General Council of the Bar make the following rules” However, Section 12(4) of the Legal Practitioners Act which is referred to by both provides that: “(4) The Appeal Committee shall cause notice of any direction given by it under this section to be served on the person to whom it relates.” It may be too late in the day to argue that our hallowed RPC has shaky statutory basis, or perhaps, that is an argument for another day or another writer, or perhaps a judicial pronouncement. Since, the 2020 amendments contain similar provision to the substantive 2007 RPC, we shall proceed with the assumption that the Attorney General of the Federation has the powers to make and also amend the Rules of Professional Conduct. THE NEW AMENDMENTS TO THE RPC The Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners (Amendment) Rules 2020 provides that “The Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners 2007 is amended by deleting the following rules namely; 9(2), 10, 11, 12 and 13.” IMPLICATION Lawyers For Government & Ministries No Longer Need To Pay Annual Bar Practicing Fees: Rule 9(2) of the RPC 2007 Provided that: “A lawyer shall not sign documents, pleadings, affidavits, depositions, applications, instruments, agreements, letters, deeds, letters memorandum, reports, legal opinions or similar documents or process or file such documents as a legal practitioner, legal officer or adviser of any Governmental department or Ministry or any corporation when he is in default of payment of his Annual Practicing Fees. The implication of the removal of this rule is that a legal practitioner, legal officer or adviser of any Governmental department or Ministry or any corporation can sign and file all legal documents, including court papers, without paying their Bar Practicing Fees. However, the amendment does not permit such legal practitioner to appear in court. This is because, the right of audience in court is not a matter of the Rules but a m |
This lawyer hasn't paid his Bar Practice Fee for at least three years. Must be a Yoruboid fucktad. Thinking that Malami is siding the northern breakaway lawyers. File a suit, Mr. Newter! Amendment; @Op is even the lawyer. Guy, you've been heard. Just vanish. The needful has been done. |
