CA/LAG/CV/319/2021, the appellate court upheld the June 13, 2018 judgment of the National Industrial Court, Lagos Division, delivered by Justice A. N. Ubaka in Suit No. Aggrieved by the decision, MTN, through its counsel, Solomon Mbadiwe, appealed, arguing that the National Industrial Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain Ikpa’s alternative claim. Resolving all four issues against MTN, Justice Senchi held that the National Industrial Court properly assumed jurisdiction and correctly evaluated the evidence before it. The Court of Appeal consequently held that the National Industrial Court was right to conclude that Ikpa suffered hardship arising from the unlawful restraint and was entitled to compensation. Rejecting MTN’s challenge to the damages awarded, the court held that the finding of compensable loss was firmly supported by the uncontroverted evidence before the trial court.
