Legal vacation is not lawyers’ vacation — Deputy Attorney-General
Synthesised from 2 Ghanaian sources
The legal vacation should not be interpreted as a period during which lawyers can unilaterally determine whether court proceedings will continue, Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, has said.
His comments follow a letter from the Ghana Bar Association to Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie urging him to ensure that judges respect the established traditions governing the legal vacation.
He said a Vacation Judge could hear both interlocutory and substantive proceedings in cases from the judge’s own court, while cases originating from another judge’s court could be limited to interlocutory matters.
