Hi friends,
The abuse and mis-use of ex-parte applications became rampant and scandalous at a time, that this legal avenue got a bad name and it appeared that a ban was imposed on judges not to consider applications for injunctions brought ex-parte, no matter how meritorious.
This attitude sparked controversy in the legal profession as many contend that jettisoning or forbidding ex-parte applications completely will create untold and irredeemable hardship and loss to people in certain circumstances.
However as our cover-story this week will show, a lot of wickedness and unjust consequences can arise when ex-parte applications are achieved in some circumstances. Such circumstances involved Mr. Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun, a Doctor of Divinity and Former Chairman of the famous Ikeja Branch of the Nigeria Bar Association.
All together it is a curious, sad and bewildering story of how a Fundamental Right protection action transformed half –way into a land-possession tool and the depriver of other people’s liberty, all in the hands Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun Esq. an otherwise respectable leader of the Nigerian bar.
We apologise for the absence of cartoons {Art-Quake and Art-Attack} in this edition. Our cartoonist is still on leave. He will be back in action in December, God willing.
