LSRC V. PRESIDENT: EQUITY PRIVATE CHAMBER ANNOUNCES ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH OLAKUNLE OROJO CHAMBER FOR THE FORTHCOMING CASE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT OF LSS AND LSRC
Over the past two days, members of the Law Students Society have witnessed a series of issues pertaining the constitution and the clash between the two representative councils of the society, Students' Executive Council (SEC) and Law Students' Representative Council (LSRC) respectively. These issues have reached a critical point, beginning with the President's refusal to comply with the Law Students' Representative Council's request to nullify a purported appointment, the Equity Private Chamber serving the President an interim injunction order granted by the Students Judicial Council, and the President disobeying the injunction order by proceeding with the inauguration of the purported appointees of the BOJ Members, thus further escalating the situation.
In light of these developments, the Students Union Government released a broadcast, condemning the President's failure to respect the interim injunction order from its judicial arm and in response, the President basing his reason for disobedience on the irregularity on the institution and grant of the order.
In tandem with the aforementioned, Today, on June 17, 2023, the Equity Private Chamber announces its partnership with Olakunle Orojo Chamber to represent the LSRC in the forthcoming case of LSRC v President of LSS and 3 ors. instituted before the Students Judicial Council.
