Sasegbon’s Laws of Nigeria (S.L.N.) is a complete statement of the entire body of Nigerian laws with each topic or subject matter having been analysed separately. It is the only complete and authoritative corpus juris based on all known and reported Nigerian cases of Superior Courts ranging as far back as Nigeria’s existence as a colony of Great Britain to 2003. While preserving those principles or statements of law which have withstood the test of time and are firmly embeded in our jurisprudence, Sasegbon’s Laws of Nigeria (S.L.N.) reflects and presents in a concise and exhaustive form the results of this steady stream of accumulated precedents which replaced, modified or supplemented older doctrines. The exhaustiveness of S.L.N consists in the comprehensiveness of its coverage and its meticulous evaluation of current legal problems. S.L.N is an encyclopedic approach to the law covering hundreds of topics. The publication thus provides a practical, efficient and reliable research tool, particularly for Judges and practicing lawyers. Authoritative and easy to use, S.L.N is the first source available to lawyers and scholars who want a comprehensive overview of almost every conceivable topic in Nigerian law. It is useful to all categories of users, be they from the legal field, the international body, academia, tertiary and institutions of higher learning, people involved in commerce, indeed any person or institution wishing to acquire a degree of knowledge pertaining to particular legal issues, concepts or scenarios. The work itself reflects the dizzying amalgamation of thousands of outstanding local, ancient and modern Nigerian cases which have been carefully selected for this purpose from the vast flood of current decisions by a team of specialist lawyers, trained to carefully analyze, reconcile, classify and correlate these cases and other material in this publication. The day to day watch for relevant and important decisions of the appellate courts in Nigeria ensured that S.L.N users have at hand the cases and decisions that make a lasting contribution to the law. To add to the general usefulness of the Encyclopedia, a list of foreign legal maxims and their meanings, still relevant in Nigerian law have also been compiled and are in Volume 15 of this work.
