The New Patriotic Party has accused Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie of exhibiting partisan disposition and facilitating selective justice by issuing special warrants for two High Court judges to conduct substantive criminal trials during the legal vacation. The party questioned why only these two courts were authorised to conduct full criminal trials when the affected cases involve persons associated with the NPP, arguing the decision amounted to unequal treatment.
The Ghana Bar Association has urged Chief Justice Paul Baffoe Bonnie to halt selected trials during the ongoing legal vacation (August 1–September 30), after receiving petitions from law firms regarding notices requiring lawyers to appear for part-heard criminal cases. The GBA states that legal vacation courts traditionally handle only emergencies and interlocutory matters, not trials, and that lawyers are not obliged to appear if unavailable.
Justice Srem-Sai has rejected the Ghana Bar Association's stance that lawyers should not be required to appear before judges during the legal vacation, stating the GBA's position has no legal basis. The dispute arose after law firms challenged directives requiring them to appear before vacation courts during the August–September legal vacation period.
Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie said judges who are sitting and ready to hear cases cannot be prevented from doing so because counsel has made personal arrangements during the legal vacation period. He stated that lawyers can take leave only where clients permit them to do so, and decisions on adjournments are made by judges.
The Ghana Bar Association has formally protested warrants compelling High Court judges to continue part-heard criminal trials during the ongoing legal vacation, arguing the move breaches court rules and professional convention.
