The suspended Chief Justice of Ghana, Gertrude Torkornoo, sued the government of Ghana at the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) over her suspension and the ongoing hearing on three petitions for her removal on July 4, 2025.
Her actions at the ECOWAS Court follow the unanimous dismissal of a similar suit she filed at the country's apex court, the Supreme Court of Ghana.
Justice Torkornoo, like she did at the Supreme Court, has asked the Community Court to revoke her suspension, stop the ongoing hearing of the three petitions that have been filed for her removal, among other reliefs.
The question now is: will the ECOWAS Court grant her the reliefs that were thrown out by the highest court in Ghana?
