Criminal trials during legal vacations a ‘novel’ departure from tradition — Kpemka
A former Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Joseph Kpemka, has described as “novel” the decision by specialised High Courts to continue substantive criminal trials during Ghana’s ongoing legal vacation.
The decision comes amid a wider debate over the scope and purpose of the legal vacation, following a recent appeal by the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) to Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie for judges to respect established practices governing the period.
The Abdul-Hamid case is among several high-profile criminal matters designated to continue during the legal vacation.
