NBA petitions panel over conflicting political judgments, names SAN, lawyers - Punch Newspapers

The Nigerian Bar Association on Monday said it has started the process of filing petitions against seven lawyers, including a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who allegedly played some roles in conflicting court orders issued by some judges recently.The organisation said it took the decision to drag them before the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee over judicial misconduct to restore confidence in the judiciary sector.

The LPDC is a statutory body put in place to take disciplinary action against lawyers accused of professional misconduct.The association’s President, Olumide Akpata, disclosed these at a press conference to herald the Justice Sector Summit slated for Tuesday in Abuja with the theme “Devising practical solutions towards improved performance, enhanced accountability.”

He said, “Some lawyers have been identified to have played roles in conflicting decisions that emanated from different courts recently. They are seven in number, including a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.“This is based on our determination to ensure that the system is protected, irrespective of those involved.”

The National Judicial Council had stopped three High Court Judges from being promoted for periods ranging from two to five years after the body found them guilty of issuing conflicting ex-parte orders. Meanwhile, the NBA has expressed the need for a review of the process for appointing judges, saying the current selection process is flawed.
