Determination of when time begins to run for purposes of section 285(9) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) relating to time within which to file a pre-election matter-  In the recent cases of Karshi v. Gwagwa (2022) 9 NWLR (Pt. 1834) 51 and Abdullahi v. Loko (2023) 6 NWLR (Pt. 1881) 445, the Supreme Court expressly departed from its earlier decisions and held that the 14-day period prescribed by Section 285(9) of the 1999 Constitution begins to run from the date of the occurrence of the event, action or decision complained of in the pre-election suit. Even though the earlier decisions in Modibbo v. Usman (2020) 4 NWLR (Pt.1712) 470, Adamu v. Dantiye (2022) 1 NWLR (Pt.1810) 1, Atiku v. INEC (2020) 12 NWLR (Pt. 1737) 37 and Peoples Democratic Party v. INEC (SC/CV/381/2021) delivered on 7th July 2012 were not expressly mentioned in Karshi v. Gwagwa(supra) and Abdullahi v. Loko (supra) amongst the listed decisions departed from, the decisions in Karshi v. Gwagwa(supra) and Abdullahi v. Loko(supra) being later in time than them, override them and by expressly departing from the then prevailing case law, established a new legal regime on the point. (SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA IN TOFOWOMO V. AJAYI - SC. CV/ 1526/2022 DELIVERED 27TH JANUARY 2023).

📣 Amendment to the Law on Assistance to Citizens of Ukraine adopted by the Polish Parliament. The Polish Parliament has adopted another amendment to the March 12th, 2022 law on assistance to citizens of Ukraine in connection with the armed conflict on its territory. The current arrangements are in effect until June 30th this year.  The amendment provides for the extension of assistance to Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war until September 30th, 2025. The changes to the Law on Assistance to Citizens of Ukraine are at first glance favorable:  👉 the period of legal residence of Ukrainian citizens is extended until September 30th, 2025, including the validity of visas and residence permits,  👉 a favorable path is provided for the issuance of residence cards for displaced persons with valid PESEL "UKR", and several other changes aimed at stabilizing the situation of Ukrainian citizens. However, some of the changes appear to be less favorable than the current regulations:  👉 reduction of the time for filing a notification of employment of a Ukrainian citizen to 7 days,  👉 the obligation to immediately apply for PESEL "UKR" if someone newly arrived in Poland, 👉 the obligation to present a valid passport in a situation where someone previously had another document.
