Dr Abdulrazaq Abdulkadir of the Department of Private & Property Law, University of Ilorin in his article “Judgment Creditor Seeking Permission from an Adversary: An Exposition of the Practice of Garnishee Proceedings in Nigeria” examines the practice of courts requiring judgment creditors seeking to file garnishee proceedings against the government to seek the consent of the Attorney General. He argues that the practice is against the provision of the 1999 Constitution and may be a result of a misconception of the implications of Section 84 of the Sheriffs and Civil Process Act.
