Private citizen drags Chief Justice, Attorney General to Supreme Court over legal vacation

Mr Gorni says such measures could allow the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal to continue hearing cases throughout the legal year while preserving judges’ entitlement to annual leave.

The case places Ghana’s longstanding legal vacation system before the Supreme Court and raises questions about its impact on access to justice and the timely determination of cases.

A private citizen, Elorm Kwami Gorni, has sued Attorney General Dominic Ayine and Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie at the Supreme Court over Ghana’s legal vacation arrangements.
