Beschreibung
Practice and Procedure in the Supreme Court of Ghana offers an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the intricate procedures governing the jurisdiction of the apex court. Authored by Justice Nasiru Sulemana Gbadegbe, a retired Supreme Court Justice with over three decades of experience, this book presents a thorough exploration of the Supreme Court Rules, 1996 (CI 16) and their amendments. It provides an in-depth analysis of the procedural steps involved in accessing the Court's jurisdiction, ensuring a clear understanding of the rules that shape legal practice before Ghana's highest court.
As a valuable resource for legal practitioners, scholars, and students, the book incorporates relevant decisions of the court, offering insights into the application of procedural law in practice. Justice Gbadegbe goes beyond mere legal provisions, shedding light on areas such as "Contempt in the Face of the Court" and the "Functions of the Registrar", to demystify the Supreme Court's procedures for non-legal audiences. In doing so, he offers suggestions for potential amendments that would enhance the effectiveness of the current rules.
This essential work also delves into the sources of procedural law and the Court's authority to ensure that lower courts operate within the limits of their powers. With a focus on the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, address electoral challenges, and serve as the final appellate court, this book is indispensable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Supreme Court's role in safeguarding the rule of law in Ghana.
Practice and Procedure in the Supreme Court of Ghana is a must-read for those who wish to engage meaningfully with the workings of Ghana's constitutional framework, offering both a practical and scholarly approach to the Supreme Court's procedures.
