Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai has announced that the ECOWAS Community Court has dismissed all seven claims brought against the Republic of Ghana by former Chief Justice Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Justice Srem-Sai revealed that the court rejected each of the allegations filed by the former Chief Justice, including her demand for US$10 million in damages. Quoting from the court’s decision, he wrote: “In light of the Court’s conclusions that Ghana has not violated any of the Applicant’s rights under the African Charter as alleged, the Court makes no decision on reparations.”
Justice Srem-Sai extended his appreciation to the team of State Attorneys who worked diligently on Ghana’s defence, acknowledging their commitment and research. “Thanks, again, to our team of illustrious State Attorneys who put in hours and hours of research to support the Republic’s defence,” he said.
The ruling marks a decisive victory for the Republic of Ghana in a high-profile legal battle before the ECOWAS Community Court.
