Private legal practitioner, Kofi Bentil, has expressed the view that the Supreme Court did not make a mistake in accepting to take up the case between Alexander Afenyo-Markin and the Speaker of Parliament.He argued that the apex court had the mandate to take up a matter that was significant or exigent.He wrote on his Facebook page that "I hear many remark that the SC didn't have jurisdiction?
Please ask about Marbury v Madison.
Even where jurisdiction is not clear the SC may seize a matter if it is necessary.
Also study the doctrine on mootness, you will find that the SC rejects hypotheticals and won't waste time on conjecture and wide assumptions."The direct opposite of that is this, the SC will and (per Marbury v Madison), should!
