THE REQUIREMENTS OF APPEALING AS A PARTY INTERESTED

Image
The position of the law is that a person who was not a party to a suit at the trial court can appeal to the court of appeal as an interested party but to do that he must seek the leave of the court and such leave cannot be subsumed into a trinity prayer because the leave is a condition precedent and failure to obtain it renders the court incompetent to assume jurisdiction and the trial court is the most appropriate court from where the leave should be seek first. This position of law was reiterated by the Supreme Court in the case of F.A.A.N V. Bi Courtney Ltd. (2025) 7 NWLR (pt. 1989) 365.  The brief narration of the fact of the case and what led to the above pronouncements by the Apex Court is that The Federal Government of Nigeria granted a concession to Bi Courtney Limited(1st respondent) for the redevelopment of the fire-razed Murtala Mohammed Airport Domestic Terminal 2 (MMA2) in Ikeja, Lagos, under a Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) arrangement.

PROLIFERATION OF ISSUES FOR DETERMINATION

Image
Proliferation of Issues for Determination occurs when a party to a case raises more than one issue  from a single ground of appeal. Where there is a proliferation of Issues for Determination, such an issue is rendered incompetent and will therefore be struck out. This principle of law has been traversed in the recent case of UBABUIKE V G.T.B PLC (2025)8 NWLR (PT.1993) 427. The summary of what transpired in the case vis-a-vis proliferation of Issues for Determination was that the appellant, as a customer to the 1st respondent, applied for and was granted a loan of N10million in April 2009 which he fully utilised. Before repaying the loan, he filed a suit against the respondents at the trial court in which he claimed several reliefs relating to the loan transaction. The 1st respondent filed a statement of defence and counter-claim to the suit and the matter proceeded to trial. In its judgment, the trial court struck out the appellant’s suit on the ground that the writ of ...

THE IMPLICATION OF PRELIMINARY OBJECTION TO APPEAL

Image
The case involves an appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Owerri Division  delivered on 29th November, 2018, which overturned the decision of the trial Court that had upheld a No Case Submission made by the Appellant at trial. The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision dismissed the appeal. This was held in the case of Ubazi v. F.R.N. (2025) 10 NWLR (Pt. 1995) 89 where the court stated that: It is trite position of the law that the purport of a preliminary objection is to terminate or truncate the appeal in limine. It should only be filed against the hearing of an appeal and not against one or more grounds of appeal when there are other grounds that can sustain the appeal. In such a situation, a preliminary objection is not the appropriate procedure to deploy against defective grounds of appeal when there are other grounds not defective, which can sustain the hearing of the appeal. A brief narration of what transpired in the case is that: The appellant wa...
