WHEN IS AN APPEAL DEEMED ENTERED AT THE COURT OF APPEAL?

WHEN IS AN APPEAL DEEMED ENTERED AT THE COURT OF APPEAL? by Branham Chima. Subscribe: https://branhamchima.substack.com/embed An appeal is considered to be officially submitted to the Court of Appeal when the records of the previous court’s proceedings are received by the Court of Appeal. Once an appeal has been submitted and until it is finally resolved, the Court of Appeal will have control over the entire case between the involved parties. Unless stated otherwise in the Rules, all applications related to the case must be made to the Court of Appeal and not to the original trial Court. However, it is possible to file an application in the trial Court for it to be transferred to the Court of Appeal. The above position was encapsulated in the National Industrial Court case of Ayangbade v. UBA (NICN/YL/05M/2020, 9th February 2021) per Kado J. thus: ‘the counsel for the judgment creditor/respondent has also contended that no appeal has been entered before the court of appeal. Let m...

OBITER DICTA OF THE ULTIMATE COURT ON IMPORTANT POINTS ARE BINDING ON LOWER COURT

OBITER DICTA OF THE ULTIMATE COURT ON IMPORTANT POINTS ARE BINDING ON LOWER COURT by Branham Chima.  Subscribe: https://branhamchima.substack.com/embed  Obiter dictum, or incidental remarks by a judge that are not binding, play an important role in legal opinions. Generally, lower courts are not obligated to follow obiter dictum. However, there is an exception: when the ultimate court makes an obiter dictum on an important point of law, it becomes binding and must be followed by all lower courts. This exception ensures consistency and uniformity in the interpretation and application of the law across the judicial hierarchy.  This position was affirmed in the case of Bennett Ifediorah & Ors. V. Ben Ume & Ors. (1988) per Nnaemeka-Agu JSC thus: ‘Although this opinion was given in a criminal appeal, it has been followed and applied by the Court of Appeal in many civil appeals against interlocutory decisions. See for an example Akinsola Dawodu & Anor. v. F. O. Olo...
