“The proceedings of a court or the proceedings of any tribunal relating to the matters mentioned in subsection of this section shall be held in public.” VirtualCourt Court Lawyers
Section 36 of the 1999 Constitution provides for fair hearing and public court proceedings, which might be lacking in remote sittings. It says: “The proceedings of a court or the proceedings of any tribunal relating to the matters mentioned in subsection of this section shall be held in public.”
Dr. Abiodun Layonu said: “I am always wary of constitutional amendments, especially to accommodate procedural matters that may from time to time change, as the world of technology moves in its dynamic nature. The first point of consideration is: do we need a constitutional amendment to achieve this?”
Also agreeing with the move, Ms. Anthonia Titilola Akinlawon noted that amending the Constitution to allow for virtual court sittings is a step in the right direction to forestall future appeals that the court proceedings were not in public. “I would rather that we have got it fully mastered and honed to perfection before we go the whole hog of entrenching it into the Constitution,” he suggested.
