CJ’s vacation warrants not limited to politically sensitive cases – Victoria Bright

International corporate lawyer and entrepreneur Victoria Bright has rejected claims that Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s warrants authorising judges to sit during the legal vacation were deliberately issued to facilitate the hearing of a small number of high-profile or politically sensitive criminal cases.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, August 15, Ms Bright said public commentary on the issue had created the impression that only a few politically sensitive cases had been selected for hearing during the vacation.“There’s been an impression created by some of the public discussion that the Chief Justice selected only two or maybe seven politically sensitive oral cases for vacation hearing,” she said.
