Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Justice Srem-Sai, has announced that the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice has dismissed all seven claims filed by former Chief Justice Justice Gertrude Torkornoo against the Republic of Ghana.
In a post shared on his verified Facebook account, Justice Srem-Sai stated that the regional court rejected all the claims brought by Justice Torkornoo against the state.
According to him, the court also declined to award the US$10 million in damages sought by the former Chief Justice. He quoted the court as saying that, “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 commended the efforts of the State Attorneys who represented Ghana in the case, expressing appreciation for their dedication and extensive research in support of the Republic’s defence.
“Thanks, again, to our team of illustrious State Attorneys who put in hours and hours of research to support the Republic’s defence,” he wrote.
The ruling brings to a close the case brought before the ECOWAS Community Court by Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, with the court finding that Ghana had not violated any of the rights alleged in her application under the African Charter.
