Frivolous appeals like stay of proceedings pending appeal, landlord and tenancy matters, setting aside or enforcement of arbitration award should not go close to the Supreme Court. All such appeals should end at the Court of Appeal. These frivolous appeals delay justice, and sometimes kill justice, parties sometimes die while waiting for justice!

If any lawyer represents any party that files a frivolous appeal to the Supreme Court, that lawyer should be sanctioned either with the payment of fine or suspension from practice for a given period (e.g. 2 years suspension).

any source for this claim ?

Supreme court Judges are expensive to fund , I hope you realise each judge has an entire office structure around him replete with staff that handle Secretariat duties , logistics and security ...I am close to one particular judge and I can see it cost over a billion to run him a year

What a disgrace of a nation. U.S has only 9 supreme court judges. What is wrong with Nigeria? They simply want to install judges that will be doing their bids. The wicked will never go unpunished.

I wasn't talking about salary but the cost of support structure for each Judge ...each supreme court Judge has a structure from Secretariat to logistics to security that supports them and the FG bears the cost of those . Supreme court judges are not cheap to run

Funny talk. People should be allowed to seek justice to the highest level possible.

Robbers. Even as big as America is, their Supreme judges aren't even 11.

Not all cases go to supreme. But our own, because of money allows all cases to come to them, making it to look as if they are over labored. Awon ole!

yes,they make no difference so why should we waste money when there are better things to do with the money

It’s too
Much for a country that is borrowing up and down. When you have to borrow to foot bills you cut cost wherever possible.

The US population is double that of Nigeria, yet has just 9 Supreme Court justices and their justice system is more efficient than ours, plus US is richer than Nigeria.

Yet Nigeria currently world poverty capital runs 21 Supreme Court justices yet the system is in shambles, but still wants to increase the number by adding another 20.
