*AMENDMENT:*✍🏽

_*The essence of amendment*_📄❓

*"In Alsthom S. A. v. Saraki (2000) 14 NWLR (Pt.687) 415 heavily relied on by Prof. Kasunmu SAN, Achike JSC of blessed memory observed: "In law, to amend any Legal process affords a party - whether a plaintiff or defendant and even the appellant or respondent on appeal - opportunity to correct an error in the legal document. Such correction can be made informally where the process is yet to be served. After service however correction on legal process may be effected, depending on the prevailing rules of court, either by consent of both parties or upon motion on notice, like the Case in hand; such corrections are commonplace. Amendment enables the slips, blunders, errors and inadvertence of counsel to be corrected, in the interest of justice, ensuring always that no injustice is occasioned to the other party." Per IYIZOBA, J.C.A*

*ACADEMIC ISSUES:*📄❓

_*Principle guiding courts in Nigeria in exercising their jurisdiction with respect to only live issues and not dabble into matters that are academic, fanciful or hypothetical*_

*"The courts in Nigeria follow a laid principle that they exercise their jurisdiction with respect to only live issues and would not dabble into matters that are academic, fanciful or hypothetical. See AKEREDOLU v. AKINREMI (1986) 2 N.W.L.R. (pt. 25) 710 of 725; EKPEROKUN v. UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS (1986) 4 N.W.L.R. (PT. 34) 162 of 177. An issue becomes academic when no useful purpose will be attained by an action or appeal or any issue raised therein other than its mere academic interest. See OGBONNA v. PRESIDENT, F.R.N. (1997) 5 N.W.L.R. (pt.504) 281; ACTION CONGRESS v. INEC (2001) 18 N.W.L.R.
