Application for review of SC’s ruling on voting rights of Deputy Speaker dismissed

April 26, 2022

The Supreme Court has dismissed a review application seeking it to review its March 9, Judgement which said Deputy Speakers have voting rights.

The nine-member review panel of the Supreme Court dismissed the review application by a unanimous decision.

The court presided over by Justice Jones Dotse in its short ruling said the application for review fell short of the threshold needed to warrant a review.

The apex court had ruled that a Deputy Speaker even when presiding over parliamentary proceedings reserves the right to vote and can be counted as part of a quorum for decision making.

However, the private legal practitioner lawyer Justice Abdulai who filed the matter headed back to the Supreme Court insisting the Judges got it wrong.

The Applicant argued that there was a miscarriage of justice in the judgement and for that reason he wanted a review.

Diana Asonaba Dapaah, a Deputy Attorney General, arguing on the point of law said no new matter or exceptional circumstances had been raised to warrant a review.

She said, the application is unmeritorious and abuse of court processes and prayed for the application to be dismissed.

“The long reference to previous constitutions does not meet the criteria for a review application. The plaintiff has failed to show how a miscarriage of justice has occasioned or showed any new matter that should have been considered. Present application is unmeritorious and a clear abuse of the court process”, she said.

The Court presiding over by Justice Jones Dotse dismissed the application saying it had failed to meet the threshold required for a review case to succeed.

“The application is accordingly dismissed,” Justice Dotse said.

The review case was heard by Justices Dotse, Nene Amegatcher, Prof Ashie Kotey, Lovelace Johnson, Mariama Owusu, Celemenfe Honyenuga, Gertrude Torkonoo, Prof. Mensah Bonsu, Emmanuel Kulendi.
