“NBA Publishes 70 Names In LPDC Directions” — Issues Caveat That Appeals Operate As Stay Of Execution Pending Supreme Court Decision

The Nigerian Bar Association has published the Directions of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee on its website, while cautioning lawyers and members of the public that all published directions remain subject to appeal under the Legal Practitioners Act.

In a caveat accompanying the publication, the NBA stated that where an appeal has been filed against any direction of the LPDC, such appeal operates as a stay of execution pending the determination of the appeal by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

The NBA therefore advised members of the public and legal practitioners to take due note of the caveat when reviewing or relying on any of the published directions.

The caveat reads: “All Directions of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) published on the Nigerian Bar Association’s website are subject to appeal in accordance with the provisions of the Legal Practitioners Act.

“Accordingly, where an appeal has been filed against any Direction of the LPDC, such appeal operates as a stay of execution of that Direction pending the determination of the appeal by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

“Members of the public and all legal practitioners are therefore advised to take due note of this caveat when reviewing or relying on any of the published Directions.”

Below is the table of 70 LPDC Directions captured from the screenshots:

The publication is expected to guide the public, courts, law firms, clients and legal practitioners in verifying disciplinary directions issued against legal practitioners, while also recognising that any direction under appeal remains stayed until the Supreme Court decides otherwise.
