Civil Procedure in Nigeria

Civil Procedure in Nigeria is authored by Adewale Taiwo and published by Princeton Publishing Co. Ltd. This treatise delivers an in-depth, structured commentary on the rules and practice governing civil proceedings across state High Courts, Federal High Court, and appellate courts in Nigeria. The book systematically details every stage of civil litigation, from pre-action steps, writ issuance, service of process, and drafting pleadings to summary judgment procedure, interlocutory injunctions, trial proceedings, evaluation of evidence, and enforcement of judgments. Written for legal practitioners, judicial officers, and law students, the work synthesizes court rules with judicial authorities to clarify complex procedural requirements. Practical insights help advocates avoid technical defaults, handle preliminary objections, and effectively manage civil cases. As a physical legal textbook, it is a core resource for law practice, advocacy training, and procedural legal research in Nigeria.
