Lawyer Vandapuye deserves commendation of the highest order, for taking this bold step. The citizenry is encouraged to develop the habit of 'Testing the Law', when such occasion arise. By so doing, we would be helping in enriching our Constitutional Democracy!

@Emmanuel please next time if you want to make a comment on issue try as much as you can and read the whole story and also make sure you've understood what you read. Lawyer Vanderpuye did not sent the case to the court. She is the defence lawyer for the Attorney General and Chief Justice. I don't understand why you want to commend her?

Check out the fact for the previous and current court fees.
Some lawyers in the country have criticized a huge jump in court filing fees by the judiciary.
The lawyers warned the action will discourage people especially the poor from accessing justice at the court to have their disputes resolved.
Their concern follows what they termed an astronomical increase in filing fees published in a new Constitutional Instrument –C.I. 86.
The new fees were introduced by the Rules of Court Committee chaired by the Chief Justice according to Article 157 of the 1992 Constitution.
Some angry lawyers want the Ghana Bar Association to step in and have the matter addressed, since failure to do that will only empower people to take the laws into their own hands.
At the Court of Appeals, for instance, filing notice of appeal against a final judgement or decision will cost GHC 100 from GHC25. The cost of filing amendment or additional grounds of appeal was also increased from GHC25 to GHC 100. Fees for filing motion to set aside and re-hear appeal determined ex parte was increased from GHC30 to GHC300.
At the Supreme Court, a petition to challenge election of president jumped from GHC500 to GHC5,000; service document which use to cost GHC50 will now attract a fee of GHC200; writ to invoke original jurisdiction is now GHC 300 from GHC50; filing of statement of case has also been increased from GHC25 to GHC300; and a search at the Supreme Court which used to cost GHC5 will now attract a fee of GHC50.
The public relations officer for the Ghana Bar Association, Tony Forson told Joy News even though members have complained about the astronomical increments, only parliament can intervene to ensure a decrease in the fees.
The Rules of Court Committee is a consultative body with two lawyers on it, he explained, that makes recommendations made and sent to Parliament for approval.
He admitted that there has not been any increment for years now which he said could account for the hike in the fees.
He suggested that lawyers and their clients’ interest would best be served if the increments are done on regular basis.

Long "Brofo" but how much were the old filling fees and what is the increment? All this bla bla bla makes no sense when the reader is lost about how much is at stake.

Always dealing with software issues. Infact the court should rule that there will no more be fees to be paid. Then the litigant will smell pepper.

I agree with the lawyer in fighting for the ordinary people in society, I ll also want the lawyer to compel his colleagues lawyers to think about the ordinary man when charging their legal fees.The legal aid Ghana must be well constituted and made reacharble to all people within the low income bracket in society, indeed all of us can not be made to pay equally simply because we re all not the same.In determining the case bought before the Supreme court, I would like them to consider the points made above and categorize the various income grouping of society and draw a line between how much each group should pay in this matter, cooperate institutions can not ride at the back of the ordinary man as the case has always been.
