The ECOWAS Community Court dismissed all seven of the allegations made by former Chief Justice Justice Gertrude Torkornoo against the Republic of Ghana, according to Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai.
Justice Srem-Sai stated on Facebook on Tuesday that the court has dismissed all of the former Chief Justice’s lawsuits against the state.
He claims that the court also rejected Justice Torkornoo’s request for damages.
“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,” he said, citing the court’s ruling on her claim for US$10 million in damages.
The group of State Attorneys that represented Ghana in the case received praise from Justice Srem-Sai, who also thanked them for their efforts in bolstering the Republic’s defence.
He posted saying, “Thanks, again, to our team of illustrious State Attorneys who put in hours and hours of research to support the Republic’s defence.”
