A former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has stated that the suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo may have reached a stage where returning to her position is unlikely due to the interlocutory injunction she is seeking.
According to him, her latest action can affect her chances of returning to office. "She has closed the door, she cannot enter - when the committee was set up, even though the President closed the door, he left the key hanging", he explained.
Dr Ansa-Asare clarified that the Chief Justice did not mention the President's name in the suit because the Constitution grants the President immunity from such legal action.
As a result, the Attorney General, Dominic Akuritinga Ayine was named as the defendant. "She has sued the president, the only reason why she could not mention the name of the president in the suit is because of the immunity that the Constitution has accorded the president", she added.
