Former Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has questioned the basis for selecting only Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) cases for substantive hearings during the legal vacation. He argued that lawyers and judges have an established practice of suspending substantive hearings during the legal vacation, except in circumstances where there are compelling reasons to proceed. He further questioned whether lawyers had previously been compelled to appear in court to defend clients in substantive cases during the legal vacation. Mr Tuah-Yeboah therefore argued that if substantive hearings are to be introduced during the legal vacation, the practice should be applied consistently across the judiciary rather than selectively. According to him, the fact that only two specialised courts are expected to conduct substantive hearings during the vacation is what has fuelled concerns about selectivity.
