AG cannot represent Chief Justice in vacation trial case — Frank Davies insists

At the centre of the suit is a challenge to the Chief Justice’s decision to issue administrative warrants allowing selected High Court judges to continue hearing criminal cases during the legal vacation, which runs from August 1 to September 30.

The suit, filed by Mr Oppong Nkrumah, seeks to determine whether the administrative warrants issued by the Chief Justice are constitutional and whether the affected criminal trials can continue during the legal vacation.

Lawyer for Ofoase-Ayirebi MP Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Frank Davies, has maintained that the Attorney General should not be representing Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie in a suit challenging administrative warrants directing selected High Court judges to sit during the legal vacation.
