The jury of nine presided over by Justice Jones Dotse unanimously dismissed the application on the stance that the applicant (MP) failed to meet the threshold for the court to exercise its discretion in his favour.

The embattled MP who is seeking a review of the restraining orders against him from executing his parliamentary roles after Michael Ankomah Nimfah filed an interlocutory injunction against him which succeeded.

The Apex Court in a 5-2 majority ruling on April 13, 2022 granted an interlocutory injunction filed by Michael Ankomah Nimfah.

However, on April 26, the MP through his legal luminaries led by Tsatsu Tsikata filed a review application.

In court on Tuesday, June 14, the panel Panel chaired by Justice Dotse heard verbal arguments from Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata, for applicant, Lawyer Frank Davies, Respondent Emmanuel Addai for Electoral Commission, and Deputy Attorney General Diana Asonaba Dapaah.

According to EIB Network’s Court Correspondent Murtala Inusah, Justice Prof Nii Ashie Kottey and Justice Amadu Tanko were the two new judges added to the already panel of seven.

The Ordinary panel members are Justices Jones Dotse, Agnes Dordzie, Nene Amegatcher, Mariama Owusu, Gertrude Torkornoo, Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu and Yonny Kulendi

Grounds of application

The review motion is premised on following the grounds:

a. The majority decision was in patent and fundamental error and violated article 129(3) of the Constitution in assuming jurisdiction over the determination of the validity of a Parliamentary election and proceeding to grant the application for interim injunction.

b. The majority decision was in patent and fundamental error in failing to appreciate that the suit was in reality an attempt to enforce the decisions of the High Court disguised as an invocation of the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

c. The majority decision was in patent and fundamental error in granting an order of interlocutory injunction pending the determination of the suit based on a High Court judgment and an earlier High Court interlocutory decision both of which, on their face, violated article 130(2) of the Constitution and, in the case of the judgment, also violated section 20(d) of the Representation of People’s Law, 1992, PNDC Law 284.

d. The majority decision was in patent and fundamental error in granting an order of interlocutory injunction pending the determination of the suit when what the Applicant was seeking by this application was for the execution of decisions in the courts below and this error occasioned a gross miscarriage of justice against the 1st defendant/respondent.

e. The majority decision was in patent and fundamental error in granting an order of interlocutory injunction pending the determination of the suit when the Applicant failed, prima facie, to demonstrate a legal or equitable right that ought to be protected by the court, thereby occasioning a gross miscarriage of justice against the 1st defendant/respondent.

f. The majority decision violated article 296(a) and (b) of the Constitution in exercising discretion unfairly and unreasonably.

g. The decision to proceed with the hearing of application for the interim injunction brought under the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules C.I. 47 prior to the preliminary objection raised by the Applicant herein was per incuriam the binding precedents.
