The Legal atmosphere in any given society
affects business operation. Business strives well when business legislation are
well defined and aimed at creating a favourable environment for business to
thrive. These pieces of legislation will further national goals, stimulating
the economy, conserving foreign exchange, enhancing competition among business
entities, by prohibiting monopolistic tendencies and unfair method of
competition by firms. It will also ensure that contracts are entered into and
executed, with justice done to the parties and their right adequately
protected. In Nigeria, there is a plethora of business and commercial laws that
govern different aspects of business environment for example, banking,
insurance, capital market, etc. At this point, it is important to know what
“law is”. For the purpose of this study, we shall adopt some definitions.
The definition by an eminent Nigerian jurist is
that, “the law of a given society is the body of rules, which are recognized as
obligatory by its members”1
It is therefore the entire body of principles,
norms or regulation that governs human conduct, the observance of which can be
enforced.

Also “law” is defined by Cicero 1959 as, “the
highest reason implanted in nature, which commands what ought to be done and
forbids the opposite . . . what is right and that is also eternal, and does not
begin or end with written statutes. ..”2 This means natural or moral laws which
accord with our basic sense of justice of what is wrong and right in the state
of nature, as opposed to or in contrast with legislative or man-made law.
Another definition is that, “law is a body of
rules designed or formulated to guide human conduct or action which are
enforced among members of a given state or society.”3 This refers to man-made
law which exists to ensure legal order and due administration of justice in an
organized society.
During the period of the state of nature, man
and animals wondered about in the bush, forest, searching for food, a place to
rest and eventually to lay head when it is night in order to sleep.
