Preliminary Objections in Litigation
₦20,000.00
Preliminary Objections in Litigation by Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, SAN is a comprehensive and practical guide to one of the most strategic yet frequently misunderstood tools in litigation. Written in response to the growing need for procedural rigour in an overburdened justice system, this handbook examines preliminary objections as essential instruments for safeguarding judicial time, promoting efficiency, and upholding due process.
Structured thematically, the book explores key grounds of objection—including jurisdiction, limitation periods, locus standi, abuse of court process, and procedural non-compliance—supported by case law, doctrinal analysis, and emerging judicial trends.
Designed for practitioners, judges, and students, this work serves as both a reference and a strategic companion, offering clarity, context, and practical guidance for effectively raising and responding to preliminary objections. It is an invaluable resource for those committed to improving advocacy and strengthening the rule of law.

“Far too often in litigation, preliminary objections are treated perfunctorily. Yet, they serve as a crucial first line of defence, capable of saving time, shielding parties from unnecessary exposure, costs, and upholding the integrity of the judicial process. The Learned Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Professor Fabian Ajogwu SAN, masterfully explores this theme, demonstrating how preliminary objections can prevent a misdirected or defective suit from proceeding further and wasting time and money.”
