The withdrawal brings the application before the Court of Appeal to an end. The State has, however, filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the earlier decision that acquitted and discharged Mrs Tamakloe-Attionu. The Attorney-General had asked the Court of Appeal to suspend the effect of the acquittal until the Supreme Court determined the further appeal. He also said the defence had not been formally served with any new application filed by the Attorney-General at the Supreme Court. The Attorney-General subsequently sought to suspend the effect of the acquittal while pursuing a further appeal at the Supreme Court.
