Question 1 Report

Before 1963 __________ was the highest court in Nigeria
Answer Details
Before 1963, the Privy Council was the highest court in Nigeria. The Privy Council was a judicial body based in London, England, that served as the final court of appeal for the British Empire and Commonwealth countries, including Nigeria. The Privy Council was made up of senior judges and legal experts appointed by the British monarch. Nigerian cases that could not be resolved by the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeal were appealed to the Privy Council. However, in 1963, the Nigerian Constitution was amended to establish the Supreme Court of Nigeria as the final court of appeal in the country, effectively ending the appellate jurisdiction of the Privy Council in Nigeria.
