Former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has cast doubt on the legal merit of the Chief Justice's decision to seek intervention from the ECOWAS Court.
He has described it as a misguided effort that undermines Ghana's established legal processes.
Speaking on TV3's KeyPoints on Saturday, July 12, 2025, Ansa-Asare argued that Ghana's rules of evidence and court procedures are rooted in domestic law and cannot be replaced or overruled by regional legal standards. "Our procedures are firmly embedded in the High Court rules and the Evidence Act of 1975.
ECOWAS does not have a sub-regional procedure that we are violating", he stated.
