Good job bro. However, with regards to the part of the written address, it is most appropriate to say “we adopt the argument contained in the written address as our oral submission in support of the motion” rather than say we adopt it as our brief of argument. Brief of argument is just as same as the written address but used in court of appeal and it is also in writing.
Ordinarily, we are supposed to argue orally for our motions…but to save time since we mostly restate what is contained in d address, we are better adopting it as our oral argument or submission.

I am really impressed for this is a clearification of the cloud in my understanding how to move a motion after coming out from the lecture hall at Kano campus NLS …criminal litigation.

This piece is wonderful and encompasses all what a lawyer on pupilage must know.

I’m enlightened. But what are the procedures for adopting a final written address?
ADMIN
Almost same way you adopt a Motion, just that sometimes you might have to adumbrate and use the opportunity to emphasize or clear any ambiguity in your Final Written Address.

Thank you for the simplicity of presentation of this topic- how to move motions in court. I appreciate you, please.
ADMIN
Moving a motion in terms or moving in terms of the motion paper simply means moving the motion without the regular formalities involved in moving a motion. So there will be no need for you to go into much details as the “terms” or content of the paper is already before the court. You just simply ask for the court’s permission to move in terms and if the Judge permits it, you simply say I move in terms of the motion paper my Lord. This is usually allowed or used for harmless motions but it is all subject to the Judge discretion even for harmful motions.

Good. Must say however that since it is a Motion On Notice it is best practice for Counsel moving to inform the Court of the Service of the application on the Respondent otherwise the Court would lack the requisite jurisdiction to entertain same.

You did a good job. More power to your elbow.
However, you did not teach when a lawyer is to handle counter affidavit in court what is expected of him. Kindly balance the teaching for clarity sake.
Thanks

Thank you very much for this although I am still a student of Ebonyi State University I am really impressed

Counsel, I would like to be cleared on the use of “we” instead of “I” because I notice in your appearance’s announcement that it is only you that is mentioned. Please is a convention or matter of choice? Thanks!

The word “we” is used just in case you are more than one lawyer for the Applicant. However, “I” is very correct for a situation where you are just the only lawyer for the Applicant.

Thanks for your help.
But please what is the difference between motion on notice & ex parte.
Legal Panic
Motion on notice means the motion must be served on the other party. While Motion Exparte means you don’t have to put the other party on notice. It can be moved without putting the other party on notice. Usually these are harmless motions or motions that doesn’t affect the other party.
