This book highlights in a most condensed form judicial pronouncements by
the superior courts of records as they relate to practice and procedures
in civil litigation in Nigeria. Judicial pronouncements on civil aspects
of the law in Nigeria are on the increase, rendering brief-writing more
challenging, if not herculean, in the absence of a resource guide for
the citation of authorities and knowing which changes have taken place
in the law. For lawyers not to be taken by surprise in courts when
issues relating to practice and procedures are raised without notice,
makes the need to have a resource book that should serve as a quick
guide the more compelling. This book is thus intended to be a reference
guide.
