Court of Appeal to seek Chief Justice’s warrant to sit during vacation for Tamakloe stay of execution ruling
The Court of Appeal will seek approval from the Chief Justice to sit during the legal vacation period to determine the Attorney-General’s urgent application for a stay of execution in the case involving former MASLOC Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe Attionu.
The application, filed on Thursday, July 30, seeks to suspend the effect of the Court of Appeal’s decision that acquitted and discharged Madam Tamakloe Attionu, pending the determination of the state’s appeal at the Supreme Court.
The Attorney-General maintains that the intended appeal raises substantial legal issues with a likelihood of success and argues that without a stay, the Supreme Court appeal could be rendered ineffective if the acquittal remains in force.
