Abstract
The paper highlights the need to allow appeals to lie from all decisions of a single labour court or a labour court of first instance to a higher court. That is not restricting appeals to few matters. It notes that the decisions of the higher courts bind the single labour court or the labour court of first instance, the latter being a lower court than the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court in the hierarchy of courts. It uses Wedderburn’s discussion on labour court and appeals from labour court as a frame work and adds to it in arguing that appeals from a labour court should not be restricted to a few matters but should be extended to all matters in which jurisdiction has been conferred on it. The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) and some of its decisions was used to project the argument herein. An attempt was also made to answer the question whether appeals from the decisions of a labour court should go to the appellate courts of the ordinary courts or a separate appellate labour courts be established for the purpose.
