AN APPRAISAL OF THE JURISDICTION AND POWERS OF THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL COURT OF NIGERIA

Price: 4000 Naira ABSTRACT Generally, jurisdiction is a term of comprehensive import embracing every kind of judicial action. The fundamental nature of jurisdiction of any court is crucial to any adjudicatory process without which anything done will amount to an exercise in futility. It is so important that it can even be raised for the first time before the Supreme Court of Nigeria as a final court of the land. Thus, there is the need for prospective litigants to know the appropriate court to approach in order to seek redress in a competent court concerning labour and employment related matters. The main objective of the thesis is to appraise the jurisdiction and powers of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria under the Trade Dispute Act, National Industrial Court Act and specifically under the Third Alteration Act which amended the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999. To this end, the study also examined the legal status of part heard causes and matters p...

AN APPRAISAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE ELIMINATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY

Price: 8000 Naira ABSTRACT It is in the security interests of states to live in a peaceful and secure world. The pursuit of peace and security is, consequently, the desire of all states and often this finds place in their domestic policies. One of the ways in which states of the international community have sought to protect their security interests is by seeking military superiority over others and this invariably leads to conflict of interests among them.

AN APPRAISAL OF THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE TAXATION OF COMPANIES INCOME IN NIGERIA

Price: 4000 Naira ABSTRACT The current wave of globalization and technological revolution has had a tremendous effect on companies‟ income tax in Nigeria. For instance, the e-commerce which is a relatively new technology epitomizes boundary, whereas the companies income tax law upholds the concepts of residence, fixed base and permanent establishment. Nigerian tax administration is ill-equipped to cope with these emerging tax problems. The old standard of corporation tax, the manual assessment and enforcement procedures cannot meet up with the fast- changing commercial activities of the companies.

There is therefore the need to probe into how the developments have affected our domestic Companies Income Tax Act.

In other words the research work deals with the roles of the international criminal tribunal/ courts in the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide under international law.

However in the course of this research a major finding (among others) is that the provisions of the Convention are far from being adequate to cure the challenges that arose in international practice posed to the Convention, in the course of the implementation of the convention coupled with fact that there is no clear, direct and effective judicial re...
