Specialised courts sitting during legal vacation novel – Joseph Kpempa
The comments follow a decision by the Accra High Court to reject a request by lawyers for four accused persons to adjourn the trial until October when the legal vacation ends.
Joseph Kpempa, lead counsel for former National Petroleum Authority (NPA) Chief Executive Officer, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, has described the decision to continue proceedings during the legal vacation as novel.
The judge indicated that proceedings would continue unless the Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, withdraws the warrant directing selected high-profile criminal cases to proceed during the vacation.
