As Nigeria strengthens its position as a leading arbitration-friendly jurisdiction, anti-suit and anti-arbitration injunctions become increasingly significant in commercial disputes. These injunctions not only influence parties' choices in dispute resolution but also introduce complex procedural challenges.   In this article by TEMPLARS Partner, Godwin Omoaka, SAN, FCIArb, and Associate, Nosakhare Iyamu, examine the importance of these injunctions and their enforcement issues, especially in cross-border disputes.   They highlight the need for clear judicial guidance and robust enforcement mechanisms to enhance Nigeria’s appeal in commercial arbitration while ensuring a fair balance between enforcing contractual rights and accessing courts.   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/duwWMJPp ............................................................... #CommercialDisputes #Arbitration #AntiSuitInjunctions #AntiArbitration #AntiArbitrationInjunctions #NigeriaLaw #DisputeResolution #AntiSuit #CrossBorderDisputes #Enforcement #ArbitrationLaw #CommercialLaw #ContractualRights

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has been the best legal route for settling disputes without rancour. The machinery of Negotiation, Arbitration and Conciliation makes it cost-effective and result-oriented. Unfortunately, we have not deemed it fit to explore this available means of settling disputes in Nigeria.

With a third of its total annual budget on the line, Nigeria has successfully overturned an arbitration award totalling more than $11 billion. We review this decision which is important for arbitration practitioners and lawyers. Thanks to Ruaidhrí Groom for his work on this interesting article. https://lnkd.in/e4xh6u_m #MHCLaw #LegalUpdate #Construction #ConstructionUpdate #Arbitration

This afternoon, I have the privilege of moderating an engaging session titled "The Relationship Between the Courts and Arbitration in Nigeria: Support or Undue Interference?" for the CIArb PHC Chapter. In this session, we will explore the complex relationship between the courts and arbitration practices in Nigeria. We will examine whether the courts serve as supportive allies in the arbitration process or if they sometimes interfere inappropriately. I look forward to engaging in an intellectually stimulating discussion with the panelists, my fellow #adr practitioners, legal experts, and participants as we share our views on this important aspect of dispute resolution in Rivers State, Nigeria. #ciarbphchapter #ciarbnigeria #Arbitration #disputeresolution
