from Part IV - Judicial Control of Arbitral Awards
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 October 2020
Nigeria1 has a mixed legal system consisting of common law, sharia law,2 and customary law.3 At the pinnacle of these laws is the 1999 Constitution.4 The judiciary powers are vested in courts established by the constitution.5 Arbitration in Nigeria is governed by the federal statute Arbitration & Conciliation Act 1988 (ACA),6 which incorporates the 1985 UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (UNCITRAL Model Law), with some minor modifications. Nigeria is a federal system where several states have enacted their own arbitration legislation. One example of this is the Lagos State Arbitration Law of 2009 (LSAL).7 It applies to all arbitration proceedings in the state of Lagos that are not specifically governed by any other law. As compared to the federal statute, the Lagos Arbitration Act is more modern, having been adopted in 2009.
