Court maintains Adu-Boahene trial will continue during legal vacation
Dr Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney-General, said the prosecution was aware that some defence lawyers had written to the Chief Justice, Court Registrar and Ghana Bar Association indicating their intention not to attend proceedings during the legal vacation.
Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibonga, a Justice of the Court of Appeal sitting as an additional High Court Judge, said the warrant authorising him to sit during the vacation remained valid until revoked by the Chief Justice.
Dr Srem-Sai referred to Order 75 Rule 4 and Order 71 Rule 11 of the High Court Rules, saying the provisions made it clear that the Chief Justice determined whether courts should sit during the vacation.
