JUDICIAL APPROACH TO INTERPRETATION OF CONSTITUTION: A Study of Nigeria, Australia, Canada and India (2018)
₦2,500.00Quick ViewA Study of Nigeria, Australia, Canada and India
by Hakeem Olasunkanmi Ijaiya
This book, Judicial Approach to Interpretation of Constitution: A Study of Nigeria, Australia, Canada and India, is the outcome of a doctoral study of the judicial interpretation of the constitutions in selected Commonwealth jurisdictions, and a survey of the theories of constitutional interpretation and adjudication, the rules applied by the courts in the interpretation of the provisions of the constitutions, and determined the extent to which the existing approaches to the interpretation of the constitution have hindered the development of constitutional jurisprudence in those countries.
In all, the statutes and constitutions are expressed in English language and some words are prone to distortions, thereby requiring the need for the courts to discover the intention of the legislators when interpreting such statutes and constitutions. It is further observed that the theories and rules of interpretation currently adopted by the courts are conflicting, and this is partly due to vagueness and also that in many cases, where a rule appears to support a particular interpretation, there is another rule, often of equal status, which can be invoked in favour of an interpretation which could lead to different result. The general conclusion is that the existing approaches to constitutional interpretation are somewhat inefficient and inadequate to enable the courts to effectively discover the intention of the legislators, and therefore the courts should be allowed to examine all relevant parliamentary documents and debates.

LAW AND CREDITOR PROTECTION IN NIGERIA (2017) by Friday Okafor Onamson
₦3,000.00Quick Viewby Friday O Onamson
Examined here are the legal and practical reasons for the inefficiency of the legal framework of creditor protection in Nigeria. This is amply justified considering the critical role of credit in the promotion of economic growth and development and also bearing in mind the near calamitous consequences the 2009 financial crisis unleashed not only among Nigerian banks and financial institutions, and in the international financial system. The latter nearly led to socioeconomic catastrophe in Nigeria, as well as globally. It is hoped that book is found useful by government, policy makers, academics, corporate financial experts, investment bankers and other stakeholders to initiate and implement efficient policy actions to protect creditors in order to sustain the flow of credit, the engine of any economy.

LAW OF EVIDENCE IN NIGERIA: Practice and Procedure (2021) by Simon Uchenna Ortuanya
₦5,000.00Quick View“The Evidence Act (2011) repealed the old Evidence Act, in doing so, the new Act introduced some changes in the Law of Evidence. Ever since, there has been an urgent need for scholastic guidance in the proper approach to the interpretation of the provisions embodying those changes This is particularly so as the courts have been issuing contradictory interpretations of these provisions. In his new book, Law of Evidence in Nigeria, Practice and Procedure, the veteran author and urbane man of letters, Professor Simon Uchenna Ortuanya, masterfully plumbs the intention of the draftpersons of the Act. The result is a five-hundred-and-forty-page treatise of redoubtable erudition. The succinct sites of the different chapters are quite captivating just as the logical presentations of ideas are very illuminating. The book bears the imprints of the erudite author’s versatility in the Law of Evidence a course he has taught, admirably, in two public universites for years. Judges and Justices, Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Law Professors and sundry litigation lawyers should be truly enamoured of the enormous efforts here. Upon my intimate perusal of this excellent book, I am under obligation to commend it to all Justices of our appellate courts, Judges of disparate categories, law teachers and their students, and to one and all.” China Centus Neeze, Ph.D. JSC, Lille Bencher, FCIArt Austices Chambers, Supreme Court Abuja, Nigeria
