Supreme Court dismisses Kojo Oppong Nkrumah’s application seeking to halt legal vacation trials

Oppong Nkrumah filed a substantive suit at the Supreme Court challenging administrative warrants issued by Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie directing selected High Court judges to continue hearing criminal cases during the legal vacation.

The judge held that the Chief Justice had been duly served with the court processes and had indicated his representation, adding that the Attorney-General’s authorisation of legal representation did not diminish the Attorney-General’s own standing as a defendant.

Before the substantive arguments on the injunction, Frank Davies objected to the Deputy Attorney-General representing both the Chief Justice and the Attorney-General.
