Book excerpt: Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Jura - Zivilprozessrecht, Note: 5.0, University of Lagos (Law), Veranstaltung: Law, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Competence" and "compellability" are two distinct terminologies as far as the law of evidence is concerned in relation to witnesses. Distinguished Professor Osipitan SAN differentiated the two in the following words: “Competence deals with the status of a witness to testify in court proceedings while Compellability deals with the powers of the court to force/compel a competent witness to attend court proceedings purposely to testify or tender (a) document(s)”. It follows that for a person to be compellable to testify in court, he must first qualify as a competent witness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evidence Act, 2011, repealed the old Evidence Act. In doing so, the new Act introduced some changes in the Law of Evidence. Ever since, there has been an urgent need for scholastic guidance, in the proper approach to the interpretation of the provisions embodying those changes. This is particularly so, as the courts have been issuing contradictory interpretations of these provisions. In his new book, Law of Evidence in Nigeria: Practice and Procedure, the veteran author and urbane man of letters, Professor Simon Uchenna Ortuanya, masterfully plumbs the intention of the draft's persons of the Act. The result is a five-hundred-and-forty-page treatise of redoubtable erudition. The succinct titles of the different chapters are quite captivating just as the logical presentations of ideas are very illuminating. The book bears the imprints of the erudite author's versatility in the Law of Evidence - a course he has taught, admirably, in two public universities years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most jurisdictions, particularly common law jurisdictions, the Law of Evidence is a key component of the legal system as it sets the yardstick for regulating civil and criminal proceedings in courts of law. The annotation of the Evidence Act 2011 undertaken by The Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (NIALS) is a welcomed development for researchers, academics, legal practitioners, judicial officers and the public as previous annotations of the Evidence Act were based on the Evidence Act, Cap E14 Laws of the Federation, 2004. This annotation provides current information on the decided cases and relevant publications on provisions of the Evidence Act. It is particularly unique as it deals with vital amendments of the Act such as the provisions on admissibility of electronic/computer generated evidence which for a long time formed the basis of several judicial proceedings.
