Description

The information contained in this second edition will be found useful by students and legal practitioners.

The book will serve as a stimulus and guide to the reading of the full report of the cases discussed.

Each case is preceded by a straightforward explanation of the principles of law involved. Also, the treatment of each case
indicates the parties to the dispute discussed, names of the judges, extracts from decisions, and dissenting opinions if any.

The cases are followed by notes and comments in order to reflect the nature of the fundamental changes that have
taken place in the Nigerian Constitution since 1960. A whole chapter is devoted to these changes.

Each of the chapters of the book includes references to books, articles and other materials used for the guidance
of students and legal practitioners.

The appendices at the end of the book take care of the most recent Nigerian Constitution – the 1999 Constitution – which is again being considered for review.
