ECOWAS Court Dismisses Former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s Claims Against Ghana
The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice has dismissed all seven claims filed by former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo against the Republic of Ghana over her removal from office.
A Facebook post announcing the decision stated that the court rejected all the claims brought by the former Chief Justice.
The post said:
“The ECOWAS Community Court has, a while ago, dismissed all of the 7 claims which the former Chief Justice, Her Ladyship, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, brought against our beloved Republic.”
The court also ruled that Ghana did not violate any of the rights claimed under the African Charter and therefore did not award damages.
Regarding her claim for US$10 million in compensation, the court stated:
“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.”
The announcement praised the state attorneys who represented Ghana in the case, thanking them for their work in preparing the defence.
“Thanks, again, to our team of illustrious State Attorneys who put in hours and hours of research to support the Republic’s defence.”
The case followed Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s removal from office, which led to legal action at the regional court.
