Facts:

The new management of the Commercial Law Reports Nigeria (CLRN) wishes to inform all our esteemed subscribers that the Index of this year would not include the innovation of incisive reviews which was begun by the publishers in 2005. This is due to the fact that the new management inherited some teething and logistics problems which we assure you are now under control and which fact is demonstrated by ensuring that the 2008 Index to the CLRN is out to all our subscribers without any undue delays.

We however crave the indulgence of you all, who have encouraged us through your patronage to be excused this year from the inclusion of the reviews and promise to subsequently keep up this innovative trend which has set us apart as a first in Nigerian law reporting.

This compilation contains only the general indexing of the digest of cases reported through the months of January to December 2008 and because of our style of employing affirmative statements in the head notes to quote the ratios, we have been able to bring the researcher closer to locating in quick time the actual decisions that are being sought which no doubt would enhance research and save time. It also contains a compilation of cases, statutes and other legislations cited in the cases reported through the months of January to December 2008.

In all, we reaffirm our commitment to keep the flag of the CLRN flying and we shall continue to be inspired by the circulation and the tremendous goodwill the CLRN has so far gathered.
