Patrons, Clients, and Constitutions
The euphoria that followed the 2002 elections in Kenya and the end of the increasingly authoritarian regime of Daniel arap Moi, soon dissipated as the regime of Mwai Kibaki slid into the business as usual of corruption, patronage and cronyism of politics in Africa's most strongly articulated informal system of ethnic-based patronage, one that originated in the colonial period and was refined and extended under the Kenyatta and Moi regimes. Kibaki…
Hong Kong Media Law
Hong Kong Media Law is the first English-language authoritative guide to the laws most relevant for international and local journalists and other media professionals working for the print, online and broadcast media in Hong Kong and for the lawyers who represent them. The book also provides up-to-date information on the legal hurdles international and local journalists face when reporting on mainland China.
Constitutionalising Affirmative Action in the Fiji Islands
The Fiji Islands are a society deeply divided in ethnic terms, especially between indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians, and also characterised by disadvantage and poverty in most communities. Various forms of affirmative action have been pursued, mostly in favour of indigenous Fijians who are not a disadvantaged minority, as in many states with significant affirmative action programmes, or the victims of discrimination. However, there is a percept…
Constitution Making and Democratization in Kenya (2000–2005)
The article analyses the most intense phase of a process of constitutional review in Kenya that has been ongoing since about 1990: that stage began in 2000 and is, perhaps, not yet completed, there being as yet no new constitution. The article describes the reasons for the review and the process. It offers an account of the role of the media and various sectors of society including women and previously marginalized ethnic groups, in shaping the a…
The Constitution of Namibia
Namibia finally achieved independence on 21 March, 1990, after a long struggle and many false hopes and setbacks. In a nutshell: the territory was colonized by Germany. It was seized by South African forces during the First World War, and then made the subject of a League of Nations Mandate, administered by South Africa, after the war. Following the Second World War, South Africa tried to incorporate the territory, a move resisted by the United N…

The Functions of the Law of Torts in Africa
Professor Allott observed nearly a quarter of century ago: “There can be no justification (other than inertia) for the continued application of the unreformed English law of torts in modern African countries”. There is no doubt that he was right; there is equally no doubt that it is still substantially the unreformed law which is applied. Certainly there has been very little in the way of legislative change. This paper is not concerned mainly wit…

The Work of a Nigerian Magistrate's Court
Judicial statistics are frequently non-existent, or at best patchy, in developing countries. This note contains some very basic information—of the sort that in some places one might well find in published statistics—about the cases dealt with by a magistrate's court in Zaria, in one of the northern states of Nigeria during a six-month period in the early 1970s. The purpose of the study was to try to find the answers to some very elementary questi…

The Tort of Negligence in Nigeria
Academic disputation continues as to whether Nigerian courts are bound to apply English decisions subsequent to 1900. From a practical point of view, however, such decisions are treated as authorities which ought to be followed unless there is strong reason to the contrary. In the area of tort, only when the question of damages has arisen have judges in Nigeria shown conspicuous signs of independence. For practical purposes, therefore, one may tr…
An end to slavishness? a note on Alli v. Okulaja
“At present, indeed, the Nigerian courts tend slavishly to follow any English decision”. This recent decision of the High Court of Lagos State, however, appears to be the first example of a judicial refusal to follow an English precedent, other than in cases involving the measure of damages, or interpretation of statutes similar to those in force in Nigeria, but not identical. BECKLEY, J., said of Edmeades v. Thomas Board Mills Ltd
