HOW RATIO DECIDENDI IS DETERMINED

In the case of United Bank for Africa Limited Vs. Stahlban GMBH & Co. KG. (1989) 3 NWLR (Pt.110) 374 at 402 for instance, this court held and said:- “The ratio decidendi of a case is not determined from isolated dictum in the judgment. It is determined on considerations of the issues in the dispute between the parties and the facts pleaded and found in support of the contention of the issues. Hence, every judgment ought to be read as applicable to the particular facts proved.”
