The court further stated that if the Plaintiff’s counsel after inspecting the document is minded to file a supplementary statement of case in support of his injunction application, the Applicant-civil society group was at liberty to do so.

The ruling of the Court comes after a series of adjournments in the matter for the filing of processes by the A-G against the motion of the Civil Society organisation as the Court deems the case as a matter of public interest..

The Supreme Court panel which dispatched the orders of the Court in the ruling on the application for discoveries was constituted by Pwamang JSC (Presiding), Gaewu JSC, Adjei Frimpong JSC, Dzamefe JSC and Hafisata Amaleboba JSC.
