This means that the plaintiff was registered before CAMA first came into effect in 1990,\u201d the judge ruled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this evidence, it means the plaintiff can only sue and be sued in the name on the certificate issued to it on 19th December, 1986.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere must be consequential order in the circumstance of this case. The originating processes in the name of \u2018The Registered Trustees of Christian Association of Nigeria\u2019 cannot stand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimilarly, it is my opinion that this ruling has therefore also resolved the issue in the preliminary objection of the 1st defendant too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI find that the plaintiff did not comply with the law in the name used in filing its originating summons. Therefore, this application lacks merit and ought to be dismissed and I hereby make an order dismissing same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the judge, the ruling on the application affects the foundation of the case considering the issues raised with the name by which the plaintiff commenced the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI therefore make an order striking out the entire case. This is the order of this court,\u201d Ekwo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A suit filed by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) against the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the minister of industry, trade and investment over the Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 has been dismissed by a federal high court sitting in Abuja.
