Aggrieved by their dismissal, they petitioned the CHRAJ, which in turn sued the GNFS and the A-G. The applicants, CHRAJ, Ms Fosu and Ms Hammond, argued that the dismissal and Regulation 33 (6) were against the fundamental human rights of the two women, as stipulated in Article 17 of the 1992 Constitution. The court agreed with their claims and declared as unlawful Regulation 33 (6) of the Conditions of Service of the GNFS. The A-G, however, appealed against the damages awarded and instituted a stay of execution of the judgement.
