A private citizen, Elorm Kwami Gorni, has sued Attorney General Dominic Ayine and Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie at the Supreme Court over Ghana’s legal vacation arrangements. The suit, filed on July 28, 2026, invokes the Supreme Court’s original jurisdiction under Articles 2(1) and 130(1) of the 1992 Constitution. While High Courts continue to sit during the legal vacation through designated vacation courts, the plaintiff says the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal do not sit throughout the period. Mr Gorni is asking the Supreme Court to declare Rule 61(b) of the Court of Appeal Rules, 1997 (C.I. 16), unconstitutional to the extent that they permit the suspension of sittings during the legal vacation.
