A 3:2 majority decision delivered by the Supreme Court, with Justices Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu and Ernest Gaewu dissenting, the application seeking to restrain further proceedings on the removal of the Chief Justice and to revoke the warrant of suspension issued against her Ladyship Gertrude Torkornoo was refused.
The Court held that while the application raised questions of constitutional import, the threshold for the grant of an interlocutory injunction had not been met. It found that no irreparable harm had been demonstrated by the applicant, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, and that any alleged constitutional breaches, even if ultimately substantiated, could be remedied at the substantive stage of the proceedings.
