Private legal practitioner Thaddeus Sory has described as legally flawed and disrespectful the demands made by the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) concerning the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

The GBA, among other things, in a resolution issued on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, resolved that the Acting Chief Justice should withdraw his directive "on the assignment of cases," and that the President should revoke the "suspension of the Chief Justice." According to the Bar, the Acting Chief Justice's directive is "uncertain," and the President's suspension of the Chief Justice is "unconstitutional." Their reasoning is that the President, who is neither a judge nor a judicial officer, exercised discretion "in the absence of a published Constitutional Instrument, Statutory Instrument or Regulation(s)," as required under Article 296 of the 1992 Constitution.

However, Thaddeus Sory, in a statement, argued that these demands expose a troubling inconsistency in the Bar's reasoning.

He noted that just days ago, the Bar issued a statement that now seems at odds with its own resolution.
