Appeal Court Upturns Lagos Court Decision On Number Plates by GAZZUZZ(op): 5:18am On Nov 01, 2014
APPEAL COURT UPTURNS LAGOS COURT DECISION ON NUMBER PLATES

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos today delivered judgement in favor of the FRSC in an Appeal filed by the FRSC against the judgement of the Federal High Court, Lagos in the case of Emmanuel Ofoegbu v FRSC on 26th March 2014.The Fed High Court had ruled that the FRSC had no powers to set deadlines for motorists to change over to the new number plates and drivers licence. In a Judgment delivered by Justice Joseph Ike with Justice Ndukwe Anyanwu and Justice Tukur as members, the Court of Appeal :
1. Upheld the validity of the National Road Traffic Regulations 2012.
2. held that the validity of the old number plate bought by the Respondent expired on 13th October 2014 the deadline issued by FRSC.
3. dissolved the Order of injunction by the trial court restraining FRSC from setting deadline for change over to the new number plates and observed that the 13th October 2014 deadline had passed.

The Corps Marshal & Chief Executive, FRSC Boboye Oyeyemi has expressed satisfaction about the judgement and commended the Judiciary for a clear interpretation of the existing law on number plates and driver's licence. He enjoined motorists to comply with the law while urging them to drive safely as the year winds to a close.

Exactly the way it ought to be done. If it were to be some other parastatals, they won't accept the judgement. They would find means to extort cash from motorists.

Seems you are missing the koko of the matter, judgment was in favour of FRSC meaning motorists with old number plates will have to comply or be arrested.

2. held that the validity of the old number plate bought by the Respondent expired on 13th October 2014 the deadline issued by FRSC.

Oh lawd my bad. Now I read point number 2 well. Didn't read it well initially.
Tnx for the correction sire.

Same na ni.

Why dd they appeal the High Court judgement n the first place if they genuinely believe in the interpretation of the law by the courts.

The Supreme Court idea is a no-no as I think the SC is oft-times notorious for blindly backing the FG's positions.

Re: Appeal Court Upturns Lagos Court Decision On Number Plates by VocalWalls: 8:48am On Nov 02, 2014
I think the whole stalling has been enough time for anyone to change to the new one.

A priest and a Rev.Sister are on their way
back home from a trip when their car breaks
down. They are unable to get it fixed, so they
decide to spend the night in a hotel.
The only hotel in the town has only one room
available.
PRIEST: Sister, I don't think the Lord would
have a problem, under the circumstances, if
we spent the night together in this one room.
I'll sleep on the floor and you have the bed.
SISTER: I think that would be okay.
(They prepare for bed and each one takes
their agreed place in the room.)
Ten minutes later...
FATHER: Sister, I'm terribly cold.
SISTER: Okay, I'll get you a blanket. (She does.)
Ten minutes later...
FATHER: Sister, I'm still terribly cold.
SISTER: Okay Father, I'll get you another
blanket. (She does)
Ten minutes later...
FATHER: Sister, I'm still terribly cold. I don't
think the Lord would mind if we acted as
man and wife just for this one night.
SISTER: You're absolutely right... Now get up
and get your own blanket.

We will fight this at the Supreme Court. By the time the SC delivers final judgment we would have gathered money to buy the number plates and license
