FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA V. CHIEF MIKE OZEKHOME (SAN) (2021)

What many are familiar with is that a court particularly, appellate courts, have the power to reverse or set aside a decision made by a lower court. For example, the Supreme Court has the power to set aside decisions made by the Court of Appeal, High courts etc. However, not many are aware that a court may set aside its own decision or decision of a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction.

In this case the appellant, argue inter alia that the jurisdiction of the court to set aside its own order or that of a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction is not only rare but special, relying on the case of Okoye v. Nigeria Construction & Furniture Co. Ltd. (1991), consequently, that the lower court erred when it set aside an order it made with requisite jurisdiction, without any evidence, misrepresentation or suppression of facts before it.

The respondent replied to the contention of the appellant by submitting that a court of law has the inherent power to set aside its decision or that of a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction if same was given without jurisdiction, on the basis of misrepresentation, suppression of material facts, or where irregularly granted. And they relied on the case of Agha & anor v. Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs & Ors. (2016) LPELR- 40544 (CA), among others. The respondent hinged their argument, with satisfactory evidence on the fact that the initial decision of the court which was set aside by another court of concurrent jurisdiction was made without jurisdiction and that the appellant has suppressed material facts which would have influenced the court's earlier decision.

Being faced with these arguments, the court ruled that a court of law has the inherent power to set aside its decision or that of a court of co-ordinate jurisdiction under special circumstances. For instance: where the decision is taken without jurisdiction; where a misrepresentation is made which influenced the decision; where there is a suppression of material facts; or where the order is irregularly granted.

In giving final ruling on this issue, the court of appeal upheld the arguments of the respondent as to lack of jurisdiction, suppression of material fact and misrepresentation. Further holding that the trial court was right to have overturned the interim order, which by its nature, can be discharged before the end of its lifespan.

The Court made it clear that:

Judgment creditors now have a duty to ascertain and confirm the persons actually holding the judgment debtor’s funds before commencing garnishee proceedings.

In C.B.N. v. Ochife the Supreme Court deprecated the “hit or miss” practice of filing garnishee proceedings against numerous banks in the hope of catching the judgement debtor’s money.

Creditors must now do proper due diligence and file only against the correct party in possession of the funds. It's now precision over speculation.

WHO IS A REASONABLE PERSON IN LAW?

Have you ever come across the phrase “reasonable person” or “reasonable man”? If you’re a law student, you’ve likely heard it from lecturers, classmates, or seen it in textbooks, yet, its meaning isn’t always obvious. This short content explains it.
(Quick note: “man” here is not gender-specific; it’s used in a general sense.)

So, who is a reasonable person in law?

At its core, the “reasonable man” is a legal test. It measures a person’s conduct, usually a defendant, against that of a hypothetical individual who is prudent, careful, and guided by ordinary intelligence and foresight. The aim is simple: to determine whether that person acted as they ought to have in the circumstances.

In other words, the law asks:
“What would a reasonable person have done in this situation?”. If the answer shows that the defendant acted below that standard, liability may arise.

Importantly, this standard is objective. It does not depend on what the defendant personally thought or believed, but on what a sensible and careful person should have done.

A classic illustration is seen in VAUGHAN V. MENLOVE (1837), where a farmer’s poorly piled haystack caught fire and destroyed his neighbour’s property. Even though he claimed he did not foresee the risk, the court held him liable because a reasonable person would have not acted as he did.

Similarly, in BLYTH V. BIRMINGHAM WATERWORKS CO (1856), negligence was defined as in this discussed context as; the omission to do something which a reasonable man would do, or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do.

That said, the reasonable person is not perfect. As noted in NETTLESHIP V. WESTON (1971), they are not a “paragon of circumspection”, but someone who takes reasonable care in the circumstances.

The law also adapts this standard depending on context:

• Professionals or Skilled individuals : Those holding themselves out as possessing special skills are judged against the standard of a reasonably competent practitioner in that field. See: BOLAM v FRIERN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE [1957].

• Children: Judged against the standard of a reasonable child of similar age and experience. In ROBERTS V. RING (Minn. 1919), the Minnesota Supreme Court held a seven-year-old boy to the standard of an objective seven-year-old boy, not to that of an adult.

• Physical disabilities: In FLETCHER V. CITY OF ABERDEEN (1959), the Supreme Court of Washington held that a blind person should be held to the objective reasonable standard of a blind person, not to a sighted person.

Under Nigeria's jurisprudence, the courts have also explained who a reasonable man/person is.
In OILSERV LTD. v. L.A.I. CO. (NIG.) LTD.(2008), a reasonable person was described as "a fair-minded man rational in thought and orientation. He is a man endowed with reason. It includes the ordinary person seen on the streets and the affluent, highly literate or otherwise". And in OBENWON V. STATE (2020) the court noted that "the test for determining whether a person is a reasonable man or whether his actions are reasonable must necessarily take into account the persons standing in life as well as his cultural background. So, standards differ depending on the person involved..."

Ultimately, the “reasonable person” is not a real individual, but a legal benchmark. A guide the law uses to decide whether conduct falls within acceptable standards. And in many cases, the answer to that single question “What would a reasonable person have done?” can determine liability.
