Frequently Asked Questions
Legal research questions from Nigerian business owners
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NIC) handles employment disputes including wrongful dismissal, unfair termination, discrimination, and failure to pay terminal benefits. Employers need to demonstrate they followed due process under the Labour Act — issuing warnings, conducting a fair inquiry, and giving correct notice. JusticeSure's HR module maintains the documentation trail (employment contract, warning letters, leave records, payslips) that protects employers in NIC proceedings. The platform also connects you to experienced employment law practitioners if litigation is unavoidable.
The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and its implementing regulations (Nigeria Data Protection Regulations — NDPR) impose obligations on any Nigerian business that collects, stores, or processes personal data — including customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, and employee data. Obligations include: having a clear privacy policy, obtaining valid consent for data processing, implementing security measures, notifying the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) of data breaches within 72 hours, and appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if you process large volumes of sensitive data. JusticeSure's compliance module tracks your NDPA obligations and generates the required privacy policies and consent forms.
What is legal research and why do Nigerian business owners need it?
Legal research is the process of finding and understanding the laws, regulations, and court decisions that apply to your situation. For Nigerian business owners, this means knowing: what the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA 2020) requires of your company; how the Nigerian Labour Act governs employment disputes; what NRS/FIRS regulations say about your industry; and what your rights are in a commercial dispute. Without access to this information, businesses either pay expensive lawyers for every question or make decisions based on guesswork — both costly options. JusticeSure gives you access to plain-language legal research tools built on Nigerian law.
What Nigerian laws and regulations are covered in JusticeSure's legal database?
JusticeSure's legal corpus covers: Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA 2020), Nigerian Labour Act and Employment Law, Nigeria Tax Act 2025 (NTA 2025) and FIRS/NRS regulations, Value Added Tax Act, Pension Reform Act 2014, NDPA (Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023), NAFDAC Act and pharmaceutical regulations, CBN regulations for financial services, Nigerian Copyright Act, Consumer Protection Framework, and key state laws including Lagos State and Rivers State commercial legislation. The corpus is regularly updated to reflect new legislation and CAC circulars.
How does the JusticeSure AI legal co-pilot work?
The JusticeSure AI co-pilot is trained on Nigerian law and regulations. You describe your business situation in plain English — for example, 'My supplier delivered substandard goods and refuses to give a refund. What are my options under Nigerian law?' — and the AI provides a research summary citing the relevant statutes, case law, and practical steps. It does not replace a lawyer for high-stakes matters, but it gives you the legal context to make informed decisions, draft better contracts, and have more productive conversations with your legal advisor.
Can JusticeSure generate legal documents based on Nigerian law?
Yes. JusticeSure generates business legal documents compliant with Nigerian law, including: employment contracts (incorporating Labour Act minimums), non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), service agreements, shareholder agreements, tenancy agreements, demand letters, partnership agreements, and board resolutions. Each template is customisable and, once completed, can be sent for e-signature directly from the platform. For complex bespoke agreements, the platform connects you to verified lawyers in the JusticeSure expert marketplace.
How does JusticeSure support dispute resolution in Nigeria?
JusticeSure supports three stages of business dispute resolution: (1) Prevention — legally sound contracts and documentation that minimise dispute risk; (2) Negotiation — demand letters, formal notices, and communication templates aligned with Nigerian contract law that encourage out-of-court settlement; (3) Escalation — connection to verified ADR practitioners (the Lagos Multi-Door Courthouse, CAC-recognised arbitrators) and litigation lawyers for disputes that require formal proceedings. The platform also tracks the history and documents of each dispute for use in proceedings.
What are the annual legal obligations of a registered Nigerian company?
Every company incorporated under CAMA 2020 has ongoing annual obligations: (1) Annual General Meeting (AGM) — must be held within 15 months of incorporation and every subsequent year; (2) Annual Returns — filed with CAC within 42 days of the AGM; (3) Financial statements — audited accounts (for large companies) or unaudited management accounts (for small companies) must accompany annual returns; (4) Register updates — changes to directors, shareholding, registered address, or company name must be notified to CAC within 15 days. JusticeSure tracks these deadlines and sends reminders before they fall due.
What happens if an employee takes me to the National Industrial Court?
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NIC) handles employment disputes including wrongful dismissal, unfair termination, discrimination, and failure to pay terminal benefits. Employers need to demonstrate they followed due process under the Labour Act — issuing warnings, conducting a fair inquiry, and giving correct notice. JusticeSure's HR module maintains the documentation trail (employment contract, warning letters, leave records, payslips) that protects employers in NIC proceedings. The platform also connects you to experienced employment law practitioners if litigation is unavoidable.
What does the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA 2023) mean for my business?
The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and its implementing regulations (Nigeria Data Protection Regulations — NDPR) impose obligations on any Nigerian business that collects, stores, or processes personal data — including customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, and employee data. Obligations include: having a clear privacy policy, obtaining valid consent for data processing, implementing security measures, notifying the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) of data breaches within 72 hours, and appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if you process large volumes of sensitive data. JusticeSure's compliance module tracks your NDPA obligations and generates the required privacy policies and consent forms.
