The Acting Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, is leading a newly constituted panel to preside over the hearing of an injunction suit filed against the removal of suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo.
The new panel consists of: Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie; Justice Henrietta Mensah Bonsu; Justice Yonny Kulendi; Justice Amadu Tanko; and Justice Ernest Gaewu.
The decision to reconstitute the panel overseeing the injunction suit against the removal of suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo faced strong opposition from former Attorney General, Godfred Dame, who is also the legal representative for Vincent Ekow Asafuah, the petitioner seeking to halt the removal process.
Dame objected to the panel's reconstitution, according to GhanaWeb's legal affairs correspondent, George Ayisi, arguing that Acting Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie - now presiding over the case - is directly affected by the outcome and therefore should not lead the proceedings.
