Request for adjournment of court cases - GBA to members as coronavirus cases surge in Ghana

Audio By Carbonatix

The Ghana Bar Association is urging all members across the country to request adjournments in court cases not requiring immediate resolution as coronavirus cases in Ghana increases.

"Where a matter is pending in court, even if part-heard, Counsel may agree on a date and inform the Registrar of the relevant court accordingly by correspondence. Lawyers may opt to take long adjournments within the term" a statement issued by the National President, Anthony Forson Jnr said.

The latest advice which follows some social distancing directive issued by President Akufo-Addo on March 15 as part of measures to stem the spread of the COVID-19 in Ghana, has become necessary in an effort to decongest the Courts and observe the prescribed protocol.
