Courts across Ghana are set to resume normal sittings tomorrow, Tuesday, 10 November 2026, following the official suspension of the industrial action embarked upon by judicial staff.
The strike action, which was jointly initiated by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG), brought court proceedings across the country to a halt.
However, a statement issued by the Office of the Judicial Secretary on Monday announced that a mutual understanding had been reached following successful deliberations between leadership of the unions and management.
“Following productive discussions between the leadership of the Associations and the Management of the Judicial Service, a mutual understanding has been reached. Consequently, all staff are expected to resume their duties with immediate effect,” the Judicial Secretary, Musah Ahmed, stated.
He added, “We are pleased to announce that all courts across the country will resume normal sittings effective tomorrow, Tuesday, 10th November, 2026.”
The Judicial Service further extended an apology for the disruption caused to the administration of justice and public business during the strike period.
“The Judicial Service deeply regrets the disruption to the administration of justice caused by this industrial action. We offer our most sincere apologies to His Excellency the President and the Executive arm of Government, the Honourable Speaker and Members of Parliament, the legal profession, and, most importantly, the general public and all court users, for the undue inconvenience experienced during this period,” the statement added.
Management assured the public of its commitment to ensuring seamless operations while working to address the underlying concerns raised by the staff associations.
