This came about during a hearing on an injunction case brought before the court by three National Democratic Congress (NDC) Members of Parliament on the E-Levy. The order was given by Nene Amegatcher, one of the justices of the Supreme Court, following their unanimous dismissal of the injunction application brought by the MPs.
