The Use of Lay Drafts as Drafting Instructions: A Case Study of Nigeria
Lay drafts as used in Nigeria are erroneously thought to speed up the drafting process but they are insufficient as drafting instruction and they reduce the quality and effectiveness of legislation. Good drafting instructions will lead to good legislation while bad drafting instructions will lead to the drafter’s failure to grasp the fundamentals of the policy, and failure to get the draft right, and ultimately failure to achieve the purpose of the policy. This article is intended to analyse the drafting process in Nigeria to point out the causes of ineffectiveness in legislation and how that can be improved.
期刊介绍:
The principal objectives of the Review are to provide a vehicle for the consideration of the legislative process, the use of legislation as an instrument of public policy and of the drafting and interpretation of legislation. The Review, which was first established in 1980, is the only journal of its kind within the Commonwealth. It is of particular value to lawyers in both private practice and in public service, and to academics, both lawyers and political scientists, who write and teach within the field of legislation.
