Court of Appeal overturns dismissal of Circuit Court judge
In its decision, the appellate court allowed the appeal filed by the judge, challenging a High Court ruling that had dismissed his application for judicial review. It held that the Judicial Council lacked the authority to investigate allegations of malicious prosecution against the judge. Justice Osei-Hwere, with a strong concurring opinion from Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, further ruled that the committee’s finding of abuse of power was invalid. According to the court, that charge was intrinsically linked to the malicious prosecution allegation, which was itself beyond the committee’s jurisdiction. In a notable recommendation, the Court of Appeal urged the Judicial Council to establish clear and comprehensive procedures to guide its disciplinary committees.
