Abstract

Lack of prompt and efficient running justice delivery machinery in the Nigerian courts system is often due to frivolous, pointless and frequent postponements and/or adjournments, of cases or disputes, causing delays in judicial/legal proceedings. This has resulted in crippling effects on the prompt and effective administration and delivery of justice in Nigeria. Legal practitioners in Nigeria are not without fault in the contribution to the apparent mess our judicial system has fallen prey to, as a result of varying contributory factors all working against the systems healthy existence. The Majority legal practitioners have one time or the other in practice, employed different legal manoeuvres or strategies with the aim of frustrating or causing delays one way or the other, especially in situations where they find they are ill prepared for the particular case, they realise that to continue seamlessly would birth a judgement not favourable to their party/cause. it is therefore recommended that the aim and desire to decongest the courts prevalent in the CJS of today should be encouraged and efficiently achieved without the quality of justice preyed. upon, watered down or compromised, for speed and alacrity.
