Court operations across Ghana are expected to return to normal on Tuesday, November 10, following the suspension of the industrial action by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG).
The two associations called off the strike after reaching a mutual understanding with the management of the Judicial Service following discussions over their demands.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, the Judicial Service announced that staff had been directed to resume work with immediate effect.
“Following productive discussions between the leadership of the Associations and the Management of the Judicial Service, a mutual understanding has been reached,” the statement said.
It added that all courts across the country would resume normal sittings on Tuesday.
The suspension is expected to restore judicial services and ease the difficulties faced by litigants, lawyers and other court users during the industrial action.
The Judicial Service apologised to the President and the Executive arm of government, Parliament, members of the legal profession and the general public for the inconvenience caused by the strike.
It acknowledged the disruption to court activities and the challenges experienced by members of the public who rely on the judicial system.
The Service reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the seamless and timely delivery of justice and expressed appreciation to stakeholders for their patience during the period.
The industrial action followed disagreements over the approval and implementation of revised salaries and conditions of service for Judicial Service staff.
