@Chinaluemmanuel Good evening, sir. Is it mandatory that counsel should address the court where a defendant is convicted for lesser/kindred offence other than the one being charged for?
Please sir, your input/response would be greatly appreciated. ๐
@NWLRonline Is there any judicial authority on the legal effect of a document/evidence not attached/included in an affidavit but was attached/included in the further affidavit in reply to a counter affidavit?
@gemini_un1@UsmanAbidemiEsq Majorly that's where my question is predicted on. Because it suggests, to me, that a deceased person's name can be mentioned in the "particulars of offence" which is different from the "defendants" to the charge. So I basically asked for precision.
@OKUNS23@Stainlesz05@egi_nupe Notwithstanding that an offence is a bailable of offence, the court's power to grant bail is discretionary. Also where a person feel that he's unlawfully detained, he can seek for remedies, notwithstanding that he's guilty of what he's accused of, which led to his detention.
@SharomeSharon@Esq_Dalmas_J@Andrue256 Let's even assume it's a partial payment, before rescinding the contract, there's a notice given which justified the action
To the legal practitioners on this space, please help with the construction of the letters section 174(1)(a) and (b) of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Using one or more rules of interpretation.
@80s_Esq Sir, can you please demystify the provisions of sections 1, 2, and 3 of the EA with respect to the issue at hand.
I'm just a confused student, who desires clarity on this matter. Thank you.
@SharomeSharon@Esq_Dalmas_J@Andrue256 There're differences between deposit and part payment and their effect, with respect to sale of land(contract of sale of land). Understanding their differences will make you appreciate the premise of @Esq_Dalmas_J's advice to his client(the vendor/seller) to rescind the contract.
@Esq_Dalmas_J Difference between deposit and part payment.
Where it's deposit that's being paid and the buyer/purchaser defaults the seller/vendor can rescind the contract and forfeit the deposit paid as a remedy unlike when it's part payment.
Thank you, sir for the case cited
@HAHayatu The students' loan part in your statement caught my attention. I'd like to say assertively that Govt(Fed or state) or any individual can't unilaterally in connivance with bank debit someone's account for loan repayment save there is an agreement thereto or upon a Court order.
@ruffydfire Is this to show the nontransparency, unaccountability, incompetency, mismanagement, or unprofessionalism on the part of the Ministry of Works or the Minister himself with respect to the cost per kilometre and how funds are expended concerning the ongoing Coastal High way?
@egi_nupe The beauty of laws are in their exceptions, or else they become dogmas.
Consequently, I don't think the National Assembly would consciously make laws that are irreconcilably contradictory.
My humble submission.
