Globacom Limited (Appellant) vs. NTN & 12 Ors. (Respondents)

Facts

The Federal High Court sitting at the Lagos Judicial Division made a Garnishee Order Nisi against the Appellant in respect of its funds in the 2nd to 11th Respondent banks, following an application by the 1st Respondent to enforce an arbitral award made in its favour against the Appellant. Subsequently, the Appellant filed an application seeking to set aside the Garnishee Order Nisi and the garnishee proceedings in which it was made. The court however dismissed the said application for lacking in merit. Dissatisfied, the Appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal.

The Appellant and the 1st Respondents filed and exchanged their respective briefs of argument. The 2nd to 11th Respondent on the other hand did not file any brief.
