The learned Israel Tetteh, Dafeamekpor Rockson-Nelson and the Ghana Law Society have caused to be issued and filed, a writ in the Supreme Court seeking declarative reliefs from the Court to dismantle the monopoly of the Ghana Bar Association in the 1992 Constitution and the Legal Profession Act.

The writ filed by the learned Dr. Jennifred Maurice Adjei of Obour, Minta and Co. Solicitors seeks declarative reliefs to the effect that any reference to "Ghana Bar Association" in the 1992 Constitution and the Legal Profession Act means all associations of lawyers which should include the Ghana Law Society.

The writ contends that the reference of "Ghana Bar Association" in the constition and the Legal Profession Act to the Ghana Bar Association alone as led by Mrs. Efua Ghartey is discriminatory and an unequal treatment of associations of lawyers in Ghana.

The writ thus seeks orders prohibiting the Ghana Bar Association qua Ghana Bar Assocaition, its assigns, agents and privies from holding themselves out as exclusive members of the group referrable as Ghana Bar Association in the 1992 constitution and statutes in force in Ghana.
