Uberrimae Fidei functions as a safeguard against fraud and misrepresentation within insurance transactions. By insisting on the revelation of all material facts, the doctrine deters efforts to obtain coverage under false pretenses or to conceal vital information. This measure not only protects insurers from potential losses but also ensures that legitimate insurance seekers receive coverage under just conditions.

"However, the legal paradigm accommodates an extraordinary caveat to this standard. This exception emerges when the contemnor elects to contest the legitimacy of the order of court via legitimate procedural routes, such as appeals or other judicial applications. In such scenarios, the individual may not be considered in contempt nor deprived of their legal entitlements while the validity of the order stands subject to judicial determination by an aptly empowered court."

"The only apparent exception to the rule arises when the defence itself bolsters the plaintiff's case. In such instances, the court may consider granting declaratory relief based on the combined strength of the plaintiff's case and the supportive stance of the defence."

When evaluating the validity and binding nature of documents in legal proceedings, it's essential to consider the presence of signatures, as highlighted in the decision of Alikor v Ogwo & Ors. (2019) 15 NWLR (Pt. 1695) 331@ 369 per Augie, JSC.

The court's reliance on Alikor Vs Ogwo & Ors underscores the principle that a document cannot be attributed to a specific individual without a signature.

Therefore, when applying for a garnishee order nisi, it is crucial to adhere strictly to the law, especially concerning who can depose to the supporting affidavit.
