You are wrong... it would amount to judicial crisis should CCT go ahead to sit on the same matter that is pending in Appeal Court. As long as Superior court have entertained the case, CCT MUST wait for the pending judgment by Appeal Court.

so in order words the cct can do nothing to saraki until the appeal court gives its judgement

Saraki thought he would extricate justice at the back door without knowing that the federal govt is in total control of the judiciary. Saraki must be jailed for his financial atrocities.

I told ppl I see saraki scaling thru they called me all sought of names. Tinubu now gradually seen as a toothless bulldog who bark but can neva bite.

Yes, CCT will have to hold on... because it's jurisdiction and composition was challenged in Appeal Court, which the Appeal Court have entertained and adjourned its judgment on that matter. Therefore, CCT being an inferior court to Appeal Court, MUST wait for the judgment by the Appeal Court.

The man at the centre of the storm is feeling the heat and you internet rats are busy consoling yourselves out of ignorance. FYI the CCT set the trial date for 21-23 and what could have stopped the tribunal entertaining the matter is a judgement at the Appeal Court. Was there any judgement? NO. Will Saraki appear before the CCT? YES

Saraki in future endeavors will learn to tread with caution especially when you don't have the president in your camp. You don't ridicule your party in such a manner and expect to be forgiven just like that especially as you were given a leeway for restitution with the adoption of the party's nominees for the principal positions.

chukwudi44:
Lolz ignorance on display!!! No matter what the appeal court rules,no action will be taken until the appeal and supreme courts affirms the judgement.

So unless the appeal court affirms the CCT ruling,whatever they have been doing would just ne sheer waste of time.

Are you daft or just playing ignorant? This thread and my comment is about saraki failure to get a favourable judgement from the court of appeal to stop is trial at the cct. Mr ignoramus, is this judgement in saraki's favour or not?

ziccoit:
I laugh. Have you ever heard about federal judicial service commission before? It regulates the judiciary and punish any erred judge. You sit tight the moment you know your activities are under watch and you would be punished for errors intentionally committed.

What am saying is that you used the word "erring ". A judge cannot be disciplined for erring in his judgment as long as he did not collect any bribe. That's why we have hierarchy of court. Appeal Court is there to correct any erroneous judgment by the lower court, whereas the Supreme court is there to correct any erroneous judgment by the Appeal Court. Errors in judgment is different from involving in any corrupt dealings as a Judge.

thanks for the clarification

hinwazaka:
Don't mind the ignoramus. He thought he had hit up on a light bulb, only to discover in the fullness of time, that he actually hit a deflated balloon. The APC sycophantic zombies are always too slow upstairs.

Mumu you don't even understand the judgement delivered by court of appeal, you lack comprehension and definitely slow upstairs as evident.

then what this means is that saraki has made peace with his enemies and the cct issue will be put on pending till god knows when.matter die

edogirl2:
Court of Appeal postponing a ruling indefinitely is rather curious.


Did they panic because of SaharaReporters expose yesterday?


This is the sort of thing you get from a High Court in a PDP - controlled state . This should not happen at the court of appeal.

Good thinking, @edogirl2. This is the better reasoned post I've read on this thread this far; I'm just on page 2, though (this my post should appear on the 4th page, I believe.)

Hmmmm
Definitely CCT will still hold, thou Appeal court is a superior court but as a mata of fact there is no judgement yet from Appeal court..at the inception I don't fink Saraki has any reason or right to appeal first..its after the judgement of CCT..then Saraki can now appeal and any judgement given in appeal court wil overule CCT...quote me if am wrong

The day the monkey is destined to die, all the trees will become slippery.. (Thanks grandpa)

Let's see what next Saraki's going to do. An "innocent" man like him has nothing to fear

Rexology:
Tribunal CANNOT sit to hear the case until Appeal Court give their judgment. It would amount to 'judicial abomination' for an inferior court like CCT to sit side by side with a Superior court like Appeal Court on the same matter. This is because Appeal court had entertained the case and reserved its judgment. Therefore the hands of CCT is tied on this case for now.

This is wrong. The Court of Appeal is NOT hearing the same case as the CCT is trying; in other words, the CoA is NOT trying Senator Saraki. The CoA is trying to determine whether Saraki's trial at the CCT can or cannot continue. Big difference. Until the CoA makes a pronouncement on the matter and expressly stops the CCT from continuing with the case, Saraki's trial at the CCT continues.

It is de-ja-vu again... Reminds one of some uninformed guys' interpretation of the first pronouncement of the then moribund Federal High Court on essentially the same subject matter. That funny judge eventually eased himself out of the case, while saying his court never at any time stopped Saraki's trial before the CCT, contrary to what some were feeding to the public.

Thank you jare! Even a barrister sitting here with me, is wondering where the guy got his interpretation from.

did Saraki filed a motion for stay of proceedings.? An appeal does not apply as a stay.

Well if you think he is weak, then Buhari is also weaker for not arresting these people based on media petition.

It is cheap, I don't need to steal like Amaechi to afford it.

@Montaque

An appeal does not act as a stay. However, the only requirement for saraki's lawyers to do which I trust they did is to transmit the records to the court of appeal and file an affidavit at the Tribunal. Naturally, the Tribunal will stay proceedings pending the determination of the Appeal.

The case at the Tribunal will likely not go on tomorrow

The fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom. Things do get awkward when judges have been compromised. They come up with all kinds of judgement unknown to law. Shame on Nigerian judiciary.

Indefinablely maybe till 2020. Abrakadabra don start main them wan still appoint amaechi with court cases hanging over his neck . A p c failure has started indefinitely. No problem o we know what to do in 2019.

I think the main body of your statement is self-contradictory; on one hand, you agree that "an appeal does not act as a stay," on the other hand, you said "Naturally, the Tribunal will stay proceedings." Which is it? And since when do things start becoming "natural" with the law?

Also, please read my own earlier message (a couple of ones above yours,) with which I responded to another poster having an almost similar paradigm as you do.

You have given your own interpretation which you are entitiled to..., let's sit down and watch as it unfolds. By Tuesday you are likely to hear that CCT have adjourned the hearing indefinitely.

@Duwudu


If you were a lawyer, you would have understood what I wrote. However, let me break it down to you.

Normally, when there is a judgment /Ruling from a lower court and a party goes on Appeal, the normal thing is to file a Motion for Stay at the lower court and if refused at the Appellate court.

However, if a party quickly compiles and transmit the Records of Appeal, the lower court would automatically stay proceedings to avoid judicial rascality and tongue lashing.
The law is that an Appeal should not act as a stay but till Order 4 Rule 10 and 11 of the Court of Appeal Act is Amended which states that once an Appeal has been entered, the lower court lacks jurisdiction to preside over the subject matter of the Appeal, lawyers would capitalize on this.

Let's see what happens tomorrow

Sorry bro, am not actually a lawyer but i need to get sumtyn correct into my head..
Has d tribunal given any judgement yet?
Did CoA gave any judgement today or did they sit at all?

From what we read in the news, what happened was that the court was under lock and key,there was no sitting and it was the registrar that inform the parties involved that judgement has been postponed indefinitely.so, this leaves me with the next question that
Which record will saraki's lawyer will b transmiting to the tribunal? The one from the registrar or the judgement that was not delivered by a recognised judge today?

Please am only asking dis questions from my layman's view and need to be educated....
We learn everyday and i wish to learn more 4rm u sire...

@snakie86,

The court of Appeal only presides on Appeals from a lower court. For there to be an appeal, it means there is a decision (ruling or judgment) that a party isn't satisfied with.

In this case, Saraki is challenging the decision of the tribunal to try him. He contested this fact at the lower court before Appealing.

Therefore, the Tribunal would wait for the court of Appeal's decision on the interlocutory Appeal

Who is so afraid of Saraki as SP that they would drag the country's judiciary headlong into shameful illegalities? The bench warrants issued by CCT were illegal, the CCT and the police know this. The Court of Appeal that locked it's doors to justice, and supposedly sent an alleged indefinite adjournment is itself committing an ilegality too. Even the process by which the CCB dragged Saraki to CCT is again an illegality, procedurally. The frightened cabal must have realised in their enclave that the Court of Appeal decision cannot rightly further their evil cause, and brutishly locked the doors of justice. Interesting to see whether Mr anti corruption Buhari will let the enclave of Tinubu, El Rufai and Amaechi destroy his government. Every failed government can be traced, eventually, to one monumental mis-step. This is Buhari's. Siddon look
