A Field Not Covered: Arbitration and The Nigerian Constitution
0₦2,500.00Dr Gbenga Bamodu of the School of Law, University of Essex (UK) in a counterpose to a previous article published in The Gravitas Review argues in “A Field Not Covered: Arbitration and The Nigerian Constitution” that the doctrine of “covering the field” is inappropriate in the context of legislative competence over arbitration in Nigeria in holding that states’ legislatures cannot legislate on arbitration in view of the federal Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1988. Synthesising a range of sources including decided cases, he posits that states’ legislatures also have legislative competence over arbitration concerning interstate or international transaction disputes.
