Project Overview: Comparative Analysis of the Effectiveness of Sharia Law and Common Law in Resolving Commercial Disputes in Nigeria
In Nigeria, the legal system is a complex blend of different systems, including Sharia law and common law. Sharia law, based on Islamic principles, is predominantly practiced in the northern states of Nigeria, while common law, derived from English law, is practiced in the southern states. This project aims to compare the effectiveness of Sharia law and common law in resolving commercial disputes in Nigeria.
The study will delve into the historical development of both legal systems in Nigeria and explore their principles, procedures, and mechanisms for resolving commercial disputes. By analyzing court cases, legal literature, and relevant statutes, the project seeks to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Sharia law and common law in handling commercial disputes.
Furthermore, the project will conduct interviews with legal practitioners, scholars, and business owners to gather qualitative data on their experiences with both legal systems. This empirical research will provide insights into the practical implications of choosing between Sharia law and common law for commercial dispute resolution in Nigeria.
The expected outcomes of this study include identifying the key differences between Sharia law and common law in resolving commercial disputes, assessing the factors that influence parties’ choice of legal system, and recommending best practices for addressing commercial disputes in Nigeria.
Overall, this project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on legal pluralism in Nigeria and provide valuable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and business stakeholders involved in commercial dispute resolution.
