The acting Chief Justice (CJ), Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, has issued a new directive mandating that all newly filed cases and applications in the country's superior courts be submitted to his office for assignment and scheduling.
The directive, dated April 23, 2025, and communicated through the Deputy Judicial Secretary, applies to Registrars of the High Courts, Courts of Appeal, and the Supreme Court.
According to the memo, all fresh filings, whether cases or applications, must be brought to the attention of the acting Chief Justice to facilitate court assignments or the empanelling of judges in instances where there are multiple courts.
The directive also covers the fixing of dates for hearings, effectively centralising the scheduling process under the supervision of the Chief Justice.
The memo noted that the approach overrides all previous guidelines regarding court assignments and hearing schedules, and remains in force until further notice.
Court registrars across the country have been instructed to adhere strictly to the new order.
