Special jurisdiction of High Court and Legal aid

Section 46(4)(b) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(b) shall make provisions- (i) for the rendering of financial assistance to any indigent citizen of Nigeria where his right under this Chapter has been infringed or with a view to enabling him to engage the services of a legal practitioner to prosecute his claim, and (ii) for ensuring that allegations of infringement of such rights are substantial and the requirement or need for financial or legal aid is real.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
