The Lagos State Judiciary has announced that its 2026 Easter vacation will commence on April 3 and end on April 10, with normal court activities expected to resume on April 13.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued in Lagos by the Chief Registrar of the Lagos State Judiciary, Mr. Tajudeen Elias. According to Elias, the vacation was approved by the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba, in line with Order 49 Rule 4(b) of the High Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019.

He explained that despite the vacation, arrangements have been made to ensure that urgent matters will continue to receive judicial attention. Elias said judges designated for vacation duty will entertain urgent applications relating to substantive cases already assigned to them.

He added that urgent applications in matters where substantive suits have not yet been assigned will be handled by judges specifically designated to hear such applications.

The Chief Registrar further noted that, notwithstanding the provisions of Order 49 Rule 4, any cause or matter may still be heard during the vacation period where the case is considered urgent.

He, however, stressed that such matters will only be entertained subject to compliance with the conditions set out under Order 49 Rule 5 of the High Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019.
