Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has temporarily handed over her duties to the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.

This comes in light of Justice Torkornoo’s trip outside the country.

In a letter confirming her absence, Chief Justice Torkornoo indicated: “I shall be away from the jurisdiction from Monday, November 4 to Thursday, November 7, 2024.”

Justice Torkornoo also announced that Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, the most senior Justice on the bench, would act as Chief Justice in her absence.

“The most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, His Lordship Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, will act,” the letter confirmed.
