In our previous newsletter, we provided a concise review of the key highlights and innovations in the Supreme Court Rules 2024 (the “New SC Rules” or the “New Rules”). Now, we have undertaken a deeper dive into the full breadth of the Rules, offering a deeper analysis. This expanded review builds upon our initial overview, providing a comprehensive analysis of the transformative changes introduced by the Rules. These Rules not only introduce innovative concepts such as electronic filing, virtual hearings, and a Case Management System, but also substantially modify existing procedures, including those related to service of processes, hearing of applications in chambers, timelines for filing, and administration of costs. These reforms aim to create a more agile and responsive legal system, capable of addressing the contemporary challenges faced by the Court. In this detailed review, we dissect each Order of the New SC Rules examining how they expand upon or depart from the Old SC Rules. We spotlight the innovative provisions, assess their practical impact on practice and procedure in the Court, and discuss their broader impact on litigants, legal practitioners, and administration of justice in general. 🔗 Click here to read this newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dfQpbAnF ______________________________ #SupremeCourtRules #DisputeResolution #Litigation #NigerianCourts #Courts
