The paper reviews the latest Supreme Court’s case on the issue of the interpretation of the provision of section 285(9) of the Constitution vis-a-vis the provision of section 15(2)(a) of the Interpretation Act. The legal basis for the Supreme Court’s contradictory interpretation of the law in previous cases on the issue is critically examined, and it is argued that the latest Supreme Court’s case on the interpretation of the section does not represent the law. The paper points to a better interpretation that accords with law and justice, and calls on the Supreme Court to clarify and straighten its interpretation of section 285(9) of the Constitution in a future case on the issue.

But he instinctively expects his wage-earners to render him, not only obedience, but also personal deference. If the wage contract is a bargain of purchase and sale like any other, why is the workman expected to doff his hat to his employer, and to say 'sir' to him without reciprocity?'' - Webb. This paper evaluates the practice of industrial democracy in different jurisdictions of the world.

In addition to the efforts of governments at reducing the housing deficits, individuals and corporate entities are making big business in the housing market by building high, middle and low-income apartment for rent. This has brought the need to regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants so as to avoid arbitrary increments in rents, wrongful eviction and illegal holding over of premises. This Note examines the law of landlord and tenant and the procedure for the recovery of possession in Nigeria.

The objective of the study was to determine how the development of insurance practice has impacted on the economic growth and development of Nigeria. The provisions of every legislation affecting insurance practice in Nigeria between 1960 and 2015 were critically examined. In order to justify the place of law in the development of insurance practice in Nigeria, references were made to relevant legal frameworks of advanced jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America. <br><br>The study adopted a qualitative research methodology that ensures a critical appraisal of primary and secondary sources of data which, for the purpose of this study, are the provisions of all legislations affecting insurance practice in Nigeria, including relevant literature and jurisprudence. The data obtained from these sources was critically analyzed in order to determine the state of insurance practice in Nigeria and make appropriate recommendations. <br><br>From the study’s findings, legal framework for insurance practice is essential to economic growth and development of every nation. Nigeria has recognized this fact hence the efforts at enacting various insurance legislations since formal insurance practice was introduced into the country at the beginning of the twentieth century. Also, the extant legal framework for insurance practice in Nigeria protects policy-holders to a large extent and ensured professionalism and international best practices in the insurance industry. Accordingly, insurance practice in Nigeria has improved over the decades and has made positive contributions to economic growth and development of the country. <br><br>However, the extant legal framework for insurance practice in Nigeria also suffers from some inadequacies which can impede its capacity to drive economic growth and development of the country. Therefore, the study made recommendations towards a more effective legal framework that can foster rapid economic growth and development of Nigeria. The recommendations made include: effective enforcement of the provisions of the extant legal framework for insurance practice in Nigeria; amendment of some key provisions of the extant legal framework; statutory incorporation of all common law principles of insurance contract; addressing the undue statutory interference of the National Insurance Commission, and; stripping insurance practitioners of regulatory powers in the practice of insurance in Nigeria.<br>

The concept has been applied in broader contexts as it sailed beyond the US borders. This paper examines &#39;environmental justice&#39; from its original conceptualization to its prevailing usage in relevant literature across the globe. This paper argues that the original and prevailing usage of the concept of &#39;environmental justice&#39; does not take into account certain cases of unfair and unjust distribution of environmental burden, hence the concept is inadequate for all existing cases of environmental injustice.
