COURTS — Appellate Review — Substance Over Form — Attitude of Appellate Courts

"Appellate courts are also required not to be unduly strict or rigid with regard to matters of procedure when dealing with appeals from native courts, customary courts or area courts... it is not the form of an action but the substance of the claim that is the dominant factor; the entire proceedings in such court have to be scrutinized to ascertain the subject matter of the case and the issues raised therein; and it is permissible to look at both the claim as framed, the findings of fact and even evidence given before such courts to ascertain what the real issues are."
