cannot control the company’s defence in a matter questioning their own authority. The appeal was allowed.

Can a company in receivership still appoint its own counsel? 🤔 In NECONDE ENERGY LTD v. FBNQUEST MERCHANT BANK LTD & ORS (2026) LPELR-83567(SC), the Supreme Court said yes, emphasising that receivership does not strip a company of its legal personality, and a receiver/manager

@LawPavilion why does it take so long to find the latest judgements on my account? For example, Aliyu v FRN(2026) hasn't been uploaded. Does my package limit my access to new law reports?

@yomitheprof Yes sir, we will

Your parent dies owing a bank… can the bank come knocking at your door? This week on our X Space Series, we’re unpacking Daura & Anor v Union Bank (2024) LPELR-62008(SC) and what the Supreme Court really says about inheritance, liability, and where the law draws the line.

@Onitsha_son @Oluwanonso_Esq Yes sir

@Oluwanonso_Esq Do you mean 16th May 2026?

A Delta State High Court Judge collected a ₦6 million loan from Union Bank in July 2008… and died barely ONE MONTH later before paying back a kobo. Her children later discovered she had about ₦15 million in her FIRST BANK account. They used the money for burial expenses, shared the balance among themselves (“next of kin must chop” 😭), and moved on. Union Bank heard this gist and they immediately dragged the kids to the High Court of Delta State. The children refused to repay the loan, arguing: “How can someone with ₦15 million in her account still borrow ₦6 million? And besides, our mother never told us about any loan.” Shockingly, the High Court agreed with them. But Union Bank carried the matter to the Court of Appeal… and won. The children still no gree. They rushed to the Supreme Court, insisting it was unfair to make them repay money that had already been spent and shared. The Supreme Court entered the chat… and everybody collected premium wotowoto 😭 Can children inherit wealth from a dead parent… but reject the parent’s debts? Find out what the Supreme Court held in Daura & Anor v Union Bank at the next #XSpacesMonthlyCaseDiscussion with @LawPavilion on Saturday, 16 March 2026 by 11AM.

@nickowie We received your DM sir, a customer assistance will reach out to you as soon as possible

@LawPavilion I renewed my subscription a couple of days ago but still access your services. Your customer care assistants haven't been of any helpful. I sent a DM but no response.

Given the strong precedent set in OBIAKOR v. FRN (2021) LPELR-54671(CA), which explicitly states that a case of indebtedness cannot properly translate into a case of stealing or obtaining by false pretence, the mistaken transfer of funds by Mr. A, creating an obligation for the

recipient to return the money, is fundamentally a civil matter. Mr. A's recourse would be to initiate civil proceedings to recover the ₦15 million as a debt owed by the recipient. Law enforcement agencies are not mandated to act as debt recovery agents in such circumstances.

@Phuyo991 Make sure to set your alarm ahead 😌

@LawPavilion I wouldn't miss this for the world

strategy, or advocacy. It simply reduces repetitive drafting fatigue.

It’s important to draw a clear line between convenience and complacency. A tool drafting a Statement of Claim doesn’t automatically make a lawyer intellectually lazy any more than calculators made accountants ‘forget’ maths. LawPavilion AI doesn’t replace legal reasoning,
