Legal Difference between Delivery of Judgment and Pronouncement of Judgment thereof under the Nigerian laws.
The word reading and pronouncement of Judgment most times are used interchangeably and often taken to be of same imputation.
But this is highly incorrect and for the purposes of legal practice to legal practitioners and the Law School students I will proffer two explanations for the fact that practice is different from law school program.
For law school, the issue of reading and pronouncement of judgment cannot be discussed in the High Court as it is a one Judge Court, it is only in regard to the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court that have more than one Judge presiding. In this sense, a Judge is required to say the verdict of the court in a particular matter. Such Judge is the leading Justice of the Court and during its Judgment the lead Justice reads the verdict of the court. In this instance he reads but where another Justice of the same court state the verdict of the court written by another Justice then it is said according to the law school standard to be a pronouncement of a judgment of a Justice by another Justice.
In practice, this issue flows down to the whole courts. It is an instance where a court is due to deliver Judgment whether a one Judge or more than two. Thus a Judge after the final address by parties does first as a matter of provisions of the laws including the 1999 Constitution as Amended reads his Judgment and afterwards pronounce her Judgement. For instance in a criminal proceedings with regards to stealing, the Judge can find the accused by his actions carried out the ingredients that warrants an events of stealing and the judge would say that by those actions that the accused is guilty of the crime of stealing but if this Judge did not make any pronouncement, the accused unfortunately will remain in dentation forever until the said court makes its pronouncement.
Thus pronouncement is the Judge bringing into formation the provisions of the laws to the facts of the case in regards to the parties as to its punishment or otherwise.
