Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act: Issues Arising
0₦2,500.00Joseph Mbadugha of McCarthy Mbadugha & Co and Visiting Professor of International Arbitration, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic in his article “Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act: Issues Arising” examines the constitutionality of section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. He contends that selecting arbitration as a means of resolving a particular dispute amounts to abandonment of the right of litigation and waiver of the constitutional right of resort to the court.

He concludes that the inherent powers of the courts under the 1999 Constitution does not extend to restraining arbitration or further conduct of arbitral proceedings.
