Publication: Spotlighting the Kep Innovations and Changes in the Admiralty Jurisdiction Procedure Rules 2023
The Nigerian maritime industry has recently been getting the much-needed attention it requires. Aside from the dedicated ministry of marine and blue economy that the Federal Government of Nigeria established to manage the nation’s vast marine resources for the benefit of Nigerians, the much-anticipated Admiralty Jurisdiction Procedure Rules (AJPR) 2023 (the “AJPR 2023”) was recently introduced.
Further to the procedural and substantive reforms that have been underway since the constitution of the Nigeria Admiralty Law and Procedure Reform Committee by the Nigerian Maritime Law Association in 2020, the AJPR 2023 was birthed and launched by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Hon. Justice John Terhemba Tsoho to replace the Admiralty Jurisdiction Procedure Rules 2011 (the “AJPR 2011”). The AJPR 2023 introduces several ground-breaking provisions that would particularly reshape and refine maritime practice and procedure within the Federal High Court of Nigeria by bringing it in conformity with recommended standards and international best practices.
In this paper, our Senior Associate, Chimezie Onuzulike and Associates, Taiye Adegoke, Somtochukwu .S. Anekwe, and Shukurat Oladejo highlight some core innovations and changes introduced by the AJPR 2023.
