Out now ! My new book is now available on Amazon in kindle edition, paperback and hardcover.
Text book on Comparative law.
This book is the first of its kind and the most comprehensive comparative analysis of Garnishment law and practice in Nigeria, UK, and U.S. It treats age old questions and contemporary issues like:
1. When is a debt due or accruing? What are Attachable debts and Funds? Who can appeal an Order Nisi and Order Absolute? Jurisdiction; service; and proper parties;
2. It examines the Supreme Court decision in CBN v. Interstella and other recent Court of Appeal cases vis-à-vis the questions: Who is a public officer under section 84 of the Sheriffs and Civil Process Act (SCPA)? Is the CBN a public officer for purposes of section 84 SCPA? The constitutionality of Attorney General's Consent under section 84 SCPA;
3. Interim and Final Third-Party Debt Orders (TPDO) under CPR Part 72, UK; the applicability of TPDOs for the attachment of cryptocurrency and cryptoassets in the Ions case in the UK;
4. Wage Garnishment under Title 28 USC 3205 as well as Wage Garnishment Laws of the various States in the U.S. What are the duties of a debtor and the employer upon receipt of a writ of wage garnishment? What are the attachment limits on non-exempt disposable earnings and the protections under Federal and State law? and
5. The place of Sovereign Immunity and Jurisdiction in the enforcement of international commercial arbitration awards against states? Lessons learnt from the recent P&ID v Nigeria cases instituted in Nigeria, UK, and U.S.
The book is presented with clarity of expression and academic rigour citing recent cases, scholarly works, and experiences from the author's legal career to provide useful context, insight and instruction. The book is a valuable resource for law students, scholars, lawyers in private practice and public service, arbitrators and ADR professionals, litigants (debtors, creditors & garnishees), judges, legislators and draftsmen that may be involved in future review and amendment of extant laws on garnishment and related matters, as well as general readers who wish to be informed on the subject matter.
