Supreme Court Rules

The Supreme Court Rules constitute the principal regulatory framework for proceedings before the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the apex judicial authority in the country. These Rules set out the formal procedures governing the filing of appeals, interlocutory applications, and other matters incidental to the adjudicatory jurisdiction of the Court. The provisions ensure procedural uniformity, enhance judicial efficiency, and safeguard litigants’ rights through established legal standards. This instrument is essential for appellate advocates, legal scholars, judicial officers, and all practitioners engaged in litigation at the highest level of Nigeria’s judicial hierarchy.
