ECOWAS Court dismisses Gertrude Torkornoo's claims against Ghana – Deputy Attorney General
Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai has announced that the ECOWAS Community Court has dismissed all seven claims brought against the Republic of Ghana by former Chief Justice Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Justice Srem-Sai said the court had rejected all the claims filed by the former Chief Justice against the state.
According to him, the court also declined to award damages sought by Justice Torkornoo.
Quoting the court's decision on her claim for US$10 million in damages, he 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."
Justice Srem-Sai commended the team of State Attorneys who represented Ghana in the case, thanking them for their efforts in supporting the Republic's defence.
"Thanks, again, to our team of illustrious State Attorneys who put in hours and hours of research to support the Republic's defence," he wrote.
