APPEAL

PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE

The Respondent filed this suit against the Applicant before the National Industrial Court on the 19/02/2017 for declaration that his suspension and subsequent dismissal by the Applicant is wrongful, illegal, unconstitutional, null and void. At the conclusion of the case, judgment was entered against the Applicant. The Applicant being dissatisfied with the said judgment appealed and filed a motion on Notice seeking an order of court enlarging the time within which to seek leave to appeal, and enlargement of time within which to appeal out of time against the decision of the National Industrial Court. The Court granted the prayers in the Motion on Notice and the Appellant properly filed its appeal before this Court in Appeal No. CA/YL/106/2019 between UBA Plc. Vs. Yusuf Moshood Ayangbade. The Respondent raised a preliminary objection urging this court to set aside its order granting the prayers in the Motion on Notice on grounds that this Court lacked the jurisdiction to allow the Applicant to appeal in Appeal No. CA/YL/106/2019 having struck out same. The Court upheld the Preliminary Objection and struck out the appeal on the grounds that it lacked jurisdiction to allow the Applicant to appeal having struck out same. The Applicant has yet come before this Court seeking an Order of this Hon. Court for extension of time within which to seek leave to appeal to this Hon. Court, leave to appeal and extension of time within which to appeal from the decision of the trial Court.
