Suit Number:CA/PH/233/2006
Judges:RAPHAEL CHIKWE AGBO Justice of The Court of Appeal of Nigeria MASSOUD ABDULRAHMAN OREDOLA Justice of The Court of Appeal of Nigeria AYOBODE OLUJIMI LOKULO-SODIPE Justice of The Court of Appeal of Nigeria
Counsel:Laurel C. S. Kalunta For Appellant Chief M. I. Ucheji For Respondent

RAPHEAL CHIKWE AGBO, J.C.A. (Delivering the Leading Judgment): Court: On perusal of the record of appeal, the Court noticed that the original notice of appeal contained at pages 215 to 216 of the said record was not signed either by the appellant or their legal representatives or in fact anybody. The application by Mr. Kalunta for the Court to deem the name set down on the notice as the signature has been refused. There was indeed a clear breach of Order 7 Rule 2(4) of the Court of Appeal Rule 2016. The breach is fundamental.

This appeal is hereby struck out for want of competence with N30,000.00 to the Respondent.

MASSOUD ABDULRAHMAN OREDOLA, J.C.A.:I agree

AYOBODE OLUJIMI LOKULO SODIPE, J.C.A.: I agree
