It clearly shows, he was loosing out.

Being a SAN

omenka: Jang keeps acting like a manatee. I've never seen anywhere 17 is greater than 19! What kind of voodoo arithmetic is that??

uche13: This is very simple. As a lawyer, let me explain what Fashola lawyers tried to achieve by discontinuing the suit. Jang's counsel filed a preliminary objection challenging the locus standi of Fashola to institute the suit in the first place. Locus standi means the capacity to maintain an action which means that one must be directly affected before filing a suit.

Amaechi should have been the one to file instead of Fashola. The plan was therefore to discontinue the suit so it would be struck out and give Amaechi the right to file a new suit.

However, Tayo Oyetibo SAN, I am very sure is aware of the plan hence they challenged the Notice of Discontinuance. Anyway, the court would rule that Fashola has the right to discontinue the suit and then Jang's counsel would go on appeal. Before it gets to supreme court, we would be in 2015.

Fashola's camp messed up.

uche13: @ 4 play,

No Fashola has no locus at all. Whether a sitting governor or not. He has nothing to gain personally if Jang or Amaechi is the chairman. That is one of the objection points raised by Jang's counsel which is fatal to the knowledge of Fashola's lawyer hence the decision to withdraw the suit.

Actually, the main issue raised by Jang's counsel is that if the suit is withdrawn, the court should dismiss and not strike it out.

The difference between a striking out order and a dismissal is that with the latter, you can never file the suit again. But if it is struck out, you have the right to refile.

The law is that it is only if a case is withdrawn during trial stage that the court should dismiss it.

So Fashola's counsel refused that the court dismiss the suit but it should be struck out (since they still have intention of filing a fresh one).

However all these submissions were oral which is against the rules and the court asked them to file their addresses.

The court adjourned till september because courts are going on vacation next week to resume in september.
