He shouldn't have read it.
Judgement was for June 5. He didn't show up, then read it on June 15 despite objections from the defendants.

We always know what he was but he has put himself in the open.

The question is, is the judgment in order? Did the parties satisfy the legal threshold

TemplarLandry:
This is nice.
This is interesting.
Let's see how it goes.

You go explain tire, bros.

Find out where he lives and where his offices are and picket them. That is how it is done in saner climes.

By the time he has to wade through a sea of journalists and protesters day after day to get out of his house and into his chambers, he will never try such again.

His wife will plead for him to take early retirement.

This question is academic and speculative.
It will be assigned to another Judge.....he should just go rest!

It will not sir. The appeal will look at the case and give judgment

TimeManager:
Justice Lifu acted lawfully and justiciably. He had already announced June 15 as the date of judgement before the Appeal Court gave her own order of stay of proceeding days after. And there's no law stopping any court from delivering its judgement under any circumstances.
Besides, if Accord party obtained an order from the Appeal Court, how is that applicable to ADC, AA, ZLP and APP who were not joined in the suit?. Only Accord party can hold on to the order of the Appeal Court, others have to be deregistered.

-Kiss the truth! may sound noble, but your record here tells a very different story.

So Nzeribe-esque.

Justice Peteru lefulefu na Temu judicial officer 😂

TimeManager:
Ok, that's fair enough. But then, how would it have stopped the judgement when it came days after the FHC had already announced when judgement would be deliver?.

and the judgement isn't clear to you that those who even filed the case cannot convince the court the injury they will suffer if the parties are not deregistered?
They shouldn't even file the suit an initio.
You will see it?

fergie001:
Lifu is a rogue Judge.
The case will be taken back to the trial court but assigned to another Judge.

even if supreme court look at the case from 100 different angle, the law will still stand, supreme court will still agree to deregister all the party including NDC

Appeal Court is fast redeeming her image,Justice Lifu threw caution to the winds and assume an authority beyond his powers.His ilks like Justice Omotosho have consistently gave judgements not favouring the opposition.PDP was destabilized by them now other Opposition parties are in danger.
Court of Appeal has proven to uphold justice when it is not convenient,even if the substantive suit finally goes against the parties, Supreme Court is the final Arbiter.

It is not a pre election case that would need limited locus standi. Anyone can file. Once a judgment is given, it must be obeyed until set aside.

Tinubu and his useless APC supporters in severe pains right now…

fergie001:
Very untrue. The hieripf the courts remain unchallenged.
Lifu is a judicial rascal. The Appeal Court said so.
Again, he didn't slate June 15. He adjourned twice to June 15, even if he was to deliver the next day, he must obey superior Courts.


You didn't do your research well.
Look down, you will see those parties you mentioned joined to the suit.

Don't mind him,

fergie001:
No matter when.
Once a superior Court gives an order, it must be obeyed.
Even if it is less than 12 hours apart.

This is not entirely true, it depends on the exact wording of the Court of Appeal's order.
Whether the order stayed all proceedings or only certain aspects of the case.
The trial court had heard the case, taken final addresses, closed proceedings, and reserved judgment. Under this view, nothing remained except the formal pronouncement of the decision already reached by the judge. The crucial legal question is whether the delivery of a judgment that had already been reserved before the stay order was made is itself a continuation of the proceedings. Again, it depends on the stay order.
In this case the higher court was clear and It's good that the Court of Appeal has suspended the execution of the judgment.

AMINDA:
What do you have to say about Justice Lifu's conduct?

Nothing. I have no opinion about the kogi high court that ordered INEC to register NDC, why should I have an opinion about the judge that ordered the deregistration of parties that did not meet the constitutional requirements to remain registered?

You are confusing a stay of proceedings with a stay of execution. One is before the fact the other after.

By the time the appellate court gave a stay of proceedings on may 22 the prayers of both the parties had been heard and both had closed their cases and a date for judgement had been set, from what I understand nobody at that stage can hold the judgement hostage.

In fact I find the idea of a stay of proceedings unjustifiable as anyone who seeks justice must want legal proceedings to clear the courts ASAP rather than these permanent arrest of court procedures using funny contradictory judgements.

What is the purpose of the stay of proceedings in this case if not to arrest any further movement in a case where all prayers had been heard.
All parties have the opportunity to take any distress from the high court judgement to the appellate courts so why try arrest the high court judgement, what was the period granted for which the stay would be implemented and what then happens after the stay is vacated by time as a stay can't be permanent it's only meant to be used where there is irreversible jeopardy if the judgement is implemented while an appeal is ongoing.

What is the permanent jeopardy at hand if the high court judgement is implemented, what has happened now is the proper way to arrest jeopardy which the parties find themselves is what they have now which is a temporal stay of execution of any judgements while the parties seek redresss at the appellate court.

The NJC needs to discipline those appeal court judges for granting a stay of proceedings in an high court case where the judgement date had been set.

Racoon:
The useless people abusing the courts and rule of law under this government ehen. Imagine the unprecedental level of judicial chaos, impunity and rascality being witnessed.

Even INEC and the AG of the federation that should know better is joining the failed govt to emasculate the opposition. Tinubu govt is tyrannical and oppressive but it will also pass.

Man U sound confused .

U Obidients are just Confused.

U people that are begging to be recognized as a political party are still making loud noise as typical empty barrels?

Haaaa, Oga, upon this illiterate you dey blow this grammar? Hin no go understand, he no even know the meaning of the kiss the truth, he just copied it. Kiss the truth

It didn't bother you that the Wike-affiliated Judge gave his judgement in spite of an appeal Court judgement to the contrary? It also didn't bother you that the litigants were a body put together by the president's Chief of Staff and who had only recently, endorsed the president? Noted. I can tell you that Wike and Gbaja's brashness will be the undoing of Tinubu. Let them continue.

buhariguy:

U are correct, very unserious so called opposition.

smallsmall:
No, it is not going back.
Lifu may even face disciplinary procedure, for abusing the Court process and bringing it to disrepute
Once a Higher Court rules on a Case, it should not go back to the lower Court.
In the current case, the ruling is "a Stay", so it is not a final ruling.
But the formerlly existing ruling of the Appellate Court, has made any ruling after it by Judge Lifu lower Court, Null and Void.

Judge Lifu just wasted Tax Payers Money on Judicial Rascality, as my Lord has said.

The appeal coirt never ruled on the case, it gave a stay of proceedings. I think Nigerians need some basic civic education of law so they don't come online to say stupid stuff.

That stay of proceedings should never have been granted by the appeals courts as the judgement date had been set and the proceedings had ended.

It's a judicial rascality we've seen deployed by the politically exposed to arrest judgements and to delay justice.

smallsmall:
Let us assume the bolded is true.
In such case, the lower Judge would simply tell the Parties that a Higher Court, has taken over the Case and let the Parties report to the Higher Court.

That aside, the Higher Court's STAY, means STAY, a lower Court cannot over-rule it by deliberating on the same matter, for whatever reason

The high court had stopped deliberation when the stay was granted. The only thing left was to read the judgement and a date had been set

In this case the higher court was clear and It's good that the Court of Appeal has suspended the execution of the judgment.

The Supreme Court has been emphatic, that a judgement is the finality of a legal proceeding (the reason and order) must be read by the Judge in open Court ( see Ikedi Ohakim vs Rochas Okorocha). Unless that has happened, reserved or no reserved, written addresses or no written addresses, no judgement has taken place.

The questions to ask is: Does a judgement that has been reserved or final written addresses taken, said to be the final ruling of a suit? The answer is a direct NO.

Now pray tell me what is ambiguous in stay all further proceedings until the determination of the appeal? All actions temporarily are on hold, When the judgement is read, it becomes functus officio but this is not the situation.

Now it begs us to ask, what defines a proceeding?

Proceeding: In a general sense, the form and manner of conducting judicial business before a Court or judicial officer, regular and ordered process in form of law, including all possible steps in an action from its commencement to the execution of judgment (Black Laws Dictionary)

Proceeding: the word may be used synonymously with action or suit to describe entire course of an action at law or suit on equity from the issuance of the writ or filing of the complaint until the entry of final judgment.. per Ogunbiyi JCA (as she then was) Bello Vs Attorney -General of Lagos

So, it is clear from the foregoing that Lifu is a Judicial rascal.
