An Assessment of Nigerian Law on Take-Over Defences
0₦2,500.00Tiwalola Osazuwa, Chioma Olibie, and Tobenna Nwosu, all of Aelex in their article, An Assessment of Nigerian Law on Take-Over Defences, note that take-overs in Nigeria tend to be negotiated rather than forced. In the rare instance that a take-over starts off hostile, it is likely to be resolved into a friendly take-over. Though hostile take-over is unrecognised by statute in Nigeria, Osazuwa et al examine the framework for take-overs through the lens of corporate law. They consider take-over devices and defences and well-known anti-takeover strategies.

Online Defamation: Rethinking the Liability of Internet Intermediaries for Third-Party Defamatory Contents in Nigeria
0₦2,500.00Sadiku Ilegieuno, Nosakhare Iyamu, and Lawal Kazeem, Partner and Associates respectively at Templars, in their article, Online Defamation: Rethinking the Liability of Internet Intermediaries for Third-Party Defamatory Contents in Nigeria, note that the emergence of digital media has created a whole new category to the original definition of defamation, and the strict definition of the tort at common law has been rendered otiose in application to new media. Sadiku et al examine who bears the liability for defamatory content since several parties are often involved in the publication. Should it be the third-party author or creator of the content or the owners or operators of the digital platforms where the infringing or defamatory content is published? In other words, are internet intermediaries liable for the defamatory content generated on their platforms by third party users? They examine these questions within the context of the common law, the extant laws in Nigeria, and what is obtainable across the globe.

The Effect of Governor’s Consent on Priority of Interest Under the Land Use Act: Has Anything Changed?
0₦2,500.00Olugbenga Ojo, Principal Counsel at Gbenga Ojo & Co, in his article, The Effect of Governor’s Consent on Priority of Interest Under the Land Use Act: Has Anything Changed? examines the issue of priority of interest in land under the Land Use Act and the effect of the Governor’s Consent. He considers the rule of priority before the enactment of the Land Use Act, and under the Act to determine whether there are changes. He concludes that the Governor’s Consent only validates a transaction and renders an alienation void without the Consent, but priority is determined by registration after obtaining the Consent. He suggests that Judges should read the Land Use Act as a whole as against reading a section or two in isolation or referring to irrelevant common law concepts or maxims of equity as was done in the case of Orunwese v Amu.

Rethinking the Territorial Jurisdiction of the High Court of States and the Federal Capital Territory in Civil Causes in Nigeria
0₦2,500.00Isaac Ibikunle, Associate at Olaniwun Ajayi LP, in his article, Rethinking the Territorial Jurisdiction of the High Court of States and the Federal Capital Territory in Civil Causes in Nigeria, notes that the extant position of Nigerian courts is that a State High Court does not have jurisdiction over matters arising from or more connected to another state (multi-State matters). He argues that this stance has been criticised because the courts failed to appreciate the conflict of laws provisions in the various High Court laws. From a review of the common law and constitutional history of Nigeria, Ibikunle opines that the territorial jurisdiction of a High Court should extend beyond its State to multi-State matters. He concludes with a recommendation that the Supreme Court should revisit the extant decisions on the territorial jurisdiction of the High Court on multi-State matters by aligning with the Canadian and Australian approaches on the issue.

Determination of the Jurisdiction of the Federal High Court Over Contractual Matters- A Review of the Supreme Court Decision in Crestar V SPDC
0₦2,500.00Kingsley Ibe and Ilemobade Olateru-Olagbegi, both of Babalakin & Co, in their article, Determination of the Jurisdiction of the Federal High Court Over Contractual Matters- A Review of the Supreme Court Decision in Crestar V SPDC, examine the incipient confusion over the decision of the Supreme Court that a Federal High Court has no jurisdiction over contractual matters; whether the contract is simple or ‘complex’. They explore the historical jurisdiction of both States and Federal High Court on contracts, and argue that the Federal High Court should still have jurisdiction over contractual matters if the issue pertains to those items enumerated in section 251 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution.
