THE LAW 101: Trial in Absentia -the law exists, but where are the rules?

His proposed question is important: whether the summons ordered to be served outside Ghana constitutes sufficient notification of a criminal trial for purposes of Article 19(3)(a), where the accused was outside Ghana when proceedings commenced and has never personally appeared before the trial court.

Oliver therefore identifies the first major gap: what constitutes constitutionally sufficient notification under Article 19(3)(a) where the accused was already abroad and has never appeared before the trial court?

How exactly is such a trial commenced and conducted where the accused was already outside Ghana when proceedings began, has never appeared before the trial court (I do not know of one) and has never personally been arraigned?
