In addition, the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee received a petition on the actions of J.A Badejo, SAN, having deliberately, unprofessionally instructed, sanctioned the filing of series of applications and withdrawing same to deprive the petitioners/claimants from the fruit of their judgment obtained eight years ago.
After consideration of the response of J.A Badejo, SAN and the outcome of the investigation by the sub-committee set up by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee: “The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee at its General Meeting held on the 12th day of June 2014, decided to seriously warn the Learned Senior Advocate to desist from such conduct and henceforth conduct his cases in the best tradition of the Legal Profession, uphold the honour and dignity which the Senior Advocate of Nigeria commands.”
Furthermore, the no-compliance of the above stated by J.A Badejo, SAN would cause the committee to invoke the provisions of paragraph 22(1) of the LPPC guidelines, which expressly state as follows:
22-(1) The rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria may be withdrawn from any person holding the rank by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee if the person is:
a) Adjudged by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee to have conducted himself in a manner compatible with the dignity and honour of the rank;
b) Found guilty of professional misconduct by the Legal Practitioners’ Disciplinary Committee; or
c) Convicted by a Court of Law for any offence which in the opinion of the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee is incompatible with the honour and dignity of the holder of the rank such as an offence relating to breach of trust, theft or other offences involving fraud or dishonesty.
