The court's decision is based on the just-ended protracted strike action by Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).

The Chief Judge of Federal High Court, John Tsoho, has issued a new Practice Direction exempting payment of default fees incurred by lawyers during the over-two-month period lost to the just-end judiciary workers’ strike.

JUSUN had on April 6 embarked on the industrial dispute to press home their demand for financial autonomy for the Judicial arm of government, an action which grounded court proceedings across Nigeria.“The period covering the JUSUN strike action, being from 6th day of April, 2021 to 14th day of June, 2021, is hereby exempted,” Mr Tsoho was quoted to have said.
