PORT HARCOURT — The Investment and Securities Tribunal, IST, has cautioned lawyers against filing capital market disputes at the Federal High Court, saying such a practice amounts to a waste of time and resources.
Chairman of the tribunal, Junaid Aminu, gave the warning during a breakout session at the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Aminu said despite the establishment of the IST specifically to adjudicate capital market disputes, many lawyers and even some judges were still unaware of its jurisdiction.
