The current removal of subsidy and the attendant increase in fuel price has created a huge burden for lawyers such that it now requires more resources to prosecute already secured briefs effectively. This is a critical issue at this time, in a country like ours, where there are no social support systems available to cushion the effects of a radical policy of government on the fuel subsidy removal.
The lawyer in the case under reference, must manage and maintain his chambers, pay salaries of staff, and make necessary increments upon same for staff support, to address the current hike in transportation occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and make provision for rental, for the chamber space. The reality of legal practice in the post subsidy regime is a huge challenge to the Judicial sector.
The Courts are equally facing the brunt of the new economic reality - the Judicial workers, officials of court and the general staff in that space have to face the harsh reality of the time, as this stalls their productivity and pace of delivery in their professional duties. The cost of running the daily administrative activities of the Courts have increased in the post subsidy removal regime.
