What do you expect when a certificateless lawyer who breaches the constitution and other statutes with impunity appoints trained politically exposed and tainted biased supposed lawyers to the highest court of the land?

Prof., Since your comments bother on the unconstitutionality of the CJ's act. I was expecting you to make a reference to the section of the 1992 constitution that bars a person (bailiff) to act as a witness when necessary. As a learned person, we must educate people professionally based on facts and law and not personalopinions.

What respect does this feckless court deserve? I dare say a kangaroo court where the outcome is always predictable and even then, they can't even explain their rationale for their feckless decisions. They do not deserve respect until they give respect to their profession and not be swayed by politics. So if anybody should shut up, it should be you and the inept Supreme Court court

So then what is the basis for which AG has alleged a case of gross misconduct on the part of the plaintiff. This small boy AG is of full of pride. Very irritating listening to him speak with his that assent very infuriating. The ndc will deal with him if he is found to have abused his authority. Always interested in political cases to please Akuffo Addo.

Prof Kwesi Prempeh, kindly explain to me why it is unconstitutional. Quote the provision of the constitution which stipulates that the plaintiff who is seeking a constitutional interpretation on a matter should not necessarily has to be in court during sittings, please. I am waiting for the answer because you have raised an issue of unconstitutionality about what the Chief Justice said in relation to the Defeamekpor and his lawyer's absence in court yesterday. I am not a lawyer, so educate me, Law Prof.

The Supreme Court has the right to make its independent local rules of practice, tradition and procedure to ensure its dignity or decorum.

And if it wishes Plaintiffs to be present at proceedings, they must, unless explicitly forbidden by the constitution. Prof. Prempeh does not point to anywhere in the constitution forbidding this requirement.

1. Prof. Should remember that ,when that action is commenced at the Supreme Court,the party does so against the State through the Attorney -General. This the AG is required to be present. What is his position on whether the AG fails without reasonable excuse to be present?
The indorsement on the Application has the names of the parties to the action,so where are the parties on the day?

2. The jurisprudence of Courts as a fountain of justice behoves parties who seek same to be present either in person or through their lawyers? Else the Court should just sit research and issue consequently orders!. Certainly that cannot be the proper interpretation of the letter and spirit of Article 2.

With the greatest of respect,Prof. Prempeh misapprehends the through jurisprudence of Court appearance.

Prof Prempeh, did you read the judgment of the SC. The Justice used abusedof courts. The meaning is the issue the MP raised was more administrative than constitutional.

First it was Justice Annin yeboah who was at the firig line of the too known kwesi prempeh and his ilk. Now it's Justice Torkonoo. Common sense as Dr KK Sarpong a PhD holder has demonstrated is tnot available to all PhD holders will dictate that when you bring a case to the highest court of the land, decency requires your presence. But too known kwesi Prempeh, clearly taken leave of his senses will encourage buffoonery from attention seeking NDC blockheads.

What everybody shd know is that it was the Constitution that crafted the 3 organs of govt namely the Executive , Legislature, and the Judiciary. So the Constitution is first and foremost bigger than these 3 arms of govt. In creating the Constitution in future it can do away with the SC and create a different entity. So the Constitution must be respected first b4 any other organ. The legislature. is therefore following the dictates of the Constitution so therefore the Judiciary can't block the work of the Legislature. The Judiciary can go into the matter if they find anything unconstitutional. But to stop the bill sent to the prez will be unconstitutional on the part of the Judiciary. Martin Kpebu shd learn this.bcos he normally make the case that all organs shd cease work uf the matter goes to court.
