Good evening, and how was the Torts examination? May Allah make it easy for us all.
Notwithstanding that some of us might not be happy with what we have written today, I pray the
result comes out favourably.
Like I initially said, this semester is entirely quite choked-up for me; it is the most hectic semester
ever. I had to squeeze my schedule to do this, and this should not in any way serve as an assurance
that there will be something in Company Law II. It is highly doubtful.
I will make 42 bullet points of some vital areas that I believe if we are able to print out tomorrow
morning, we can quickly review before we enter the hall.
Enjoy!
1. The stages that parties to a mortgage transaction will go through to ensure that a valid
mortgage is executed are:
a. Negotiation stage — here, you have a proposal, searches and inspection of the
subject matter (depending on the nature of the subject matter), negotiation of the
amount of loan, and so on;
b. Agreement/contract stage;
c. Perfection stage — this is where all parties will execute the deed of mortgage.
2. Whenever the property involved in the case scenario to be used in the creation of a
mortgage is located in any of the following states: Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Edo and
Delta; the Property and Conveyancing Law applies, and under this law, there are three
methods of creating a legal mortgage, which are: by demise, by sub-demise/sub-lease, by
legal charge.
3. If the property involved is located in any of the 19 Northern states, Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross-
River, Akwa-Ibom, Ebonyi, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, then, the Conveyancing Act
applies, and there are also three ways of creating a legal mortgage under this law, thus: by
assignment, by sub-lease/sub-demise, by deed of statutory mortgage [section 26(1)].
Dassol!
