CHALLENGES TO THE APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IN NIGERIAN COURTS
No full textThe global concern for the growing crisis of development and environment has led to the emergence of International Environmental law and adoption of several treaties to deal with environmental issues. Nigeria is a signatory to many environment treaties but few of these treaties have been domesticated into the Nigerian Law. This paper therefore discussed the application of International Environmental Law in Nigerian courts. It also discussed the challenges to the application of International Environmental law by Nigerian Courts. It relied on information from textbooks, journals, newspapers and internet materials. The paper also found that the importance of International Environmental Law to environmental protection globally and particularly Nigeria cannot be over emphasized. It revealed that the application of International Environmental Law in Nigerian Courts is confronted with many challenges; these challenges bother on domestication, judicial attitude, locus standi and remedies. It concluded that the provisions of section 12 (1) of the Nigerian Constitution, which stipulates that a treaty must be domesticated before it can have the force of law in Nigeria is a major hindrance to the application of International Environmental Law in Nigerian Courts. The paper recommended tackling the challenges to the application of International Environmental Law in Nigerian Courts, such as domestication of treaties, widening of locus standi, capacity building for judges.
ENFORCEMENT OF VAGUE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT UNDER THE NIGERIAN LAW: LEARNING FROM THE UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND
No full textThis paper discusses the jurisdiction of the Nigerian courts in the enforcement of vague arbitration agreements. It identifies two broad categories of vague arbitration agreements. First, vague arbitration agreements that express the intention of the parties to arbitrate the dispute in a permissive language, such as “may” instead of “shall”, which denotes an obligation. Second, vague arbitration agreements that provide for an arbitration institution or the applicable rules that no longer exist. On the one hand, the article argues that vague arbitration agreements in the former category impose an obligation on the parties and should therefore be enforceable by summary judgment procedure or even be dismissed as frivolous and an abuse of the court\u27s process. On the other hand, the article maintains the position that vague arbitration agreements in the latter category are structurally defective, thus requiring the courts to fill in the gap by activating the default mechanism rule for the appointment of arbitrators. This is where the “rubber meets the road” in determining whether the court action is unwarranted or necessary. Despite the enforcement of vague arbitration agreements by Nigerian courts, entertaining a lawsuit in light of the first category of vague arbitration agreements can hamper efficiency in arbitration and defeat the purpose arbitration provisions in a contract. The American and the English experience in light of the second category of vague arbitration agreement demonstrate an approach to melding the relevant provisions of the law of arbitration to pragmatic litigation that promotes the principles and practice of arbitration. This is an approach that the Nigerian courts should follow
