The National Industrial Court will begin its 2023 annual vacation on July 31.

The announcement, made in a circular on Wednesday in Abuja, was signed by the court president, Justice Benedict Kanyip.

Mr Kanyip said the vacation would end on September 26.

In addition, he stated that normal court sitting would resume on September 27.

Mr Kanyip made the declaration pursuant to Order 58 Rule 4(2) of the National Industrial Court Civil Procedure Rules.

The president said there would be no normal court sitting during the period except for urgent applications to be heard by a vacation judge.

The court usually assigns vacation judges to preside in Abuja and Lagos divisions to attend to applications that may lose their essence if not attended to during the vacation period.

Some of these applications include matters of national interest, such as restraining orders to stop planned industrial action and the stay of execution of proceedings brought via ex-parte motions.
