A strong case can still fail before it is heard — if it is filed in the wrong court.
Many people focus on whether they have a valid claim, but another question is just as important:
Which court has the power to hear it?
That is where jurisdiction comes in.
In this carousel, we simplify why jurisdiction matters, using the Supreme Court decision in Emma Elegbe & Anor v. HP International Schools Limited & 3 Ors as a practical case insight.
This is an important reminder for individuals, businesses and anyone considering legal action:
⚖️ The facts matter.
⚖️ The reliefs matter.
⚖️ The proper court matters.
Before filing a case, get the forum right.
