The Judicial Secretary, Her Ladyship Cyra Pamela C. A Koranteng in a letter dated the 21st day of March, 2024 has instructed all registrars to desist from publishing inactive cases in news papers. This letter of the secretary is addressed to all directors of the Judicial Service, Court Registrars and all Regional Administrators of the Service.

Per the letter of the Judicial Secretary, inactive cases should now be published on the Judicial Service website which is accessible at www.judicial.gov.gh
