Ah deputy AG you are asking if Ecowas court has the right to hear the ghana case.
Is Ghana not under ECOWAS?

I am surprised you are saying this.
I hope you don't cause financial loss to the state.

I studied Global Corporate Law including Common Law which Ghana is practising. In the current matter before the ECOWAS Court, the French Law, Islamic Law, etc will all be applied based on the different national composition of ECOWAS members. The bottom line would be the use of natural justice which the supreme Court of Ghana refused to apply.

YES, THE ALLEGATIONS FOR FIRING "JUSTICE" TORKORNOO WERE RELATIVELY TRIVIAL BECAUSE EVEN AKUFO-ADDO, KUFUOR, CECI DAPAAH, KEN AGYAPONG, ETC ARE STILL WALKING FREE! GHANA IS A JOKE!

A SO-CALLED CHIEF JUSTICE WHO DID NOT KNOW THAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS A SERIOUS CRIMINAL OFFENSE EVERYWHERE. NAWAOO, GHANA!

MEANWHILE, GHANA HAS FAKE REDUNDANT ANTI-CORRUPTION AGENCIES NAMELY OSP, BNI, AG, ORAL, ETC, WITH MASSIVE OVERHEADS EXPENSES ADDING UP TO GHANA'S MASSIVE DEBT BURDEN ON ORDINARY BANKRUPTED CITIZENS OF GHANA.

WHAT A COUNTRY! GHANA IS A BIG JOKE!

NO WONDER THE HOPELESSLY LOOTED GHANA IS ETERNALLY BANKRUPTED AND HIGHLY INDEBTED WITH KILLER TAX REGIMES. GHANA WILL REMAIN A HOPELESS NATION TILL THY KINGDOM COME.

IS THIS CRIMINAL GABBY OSTRICH STILL WALKING FREE? Ei, GHANA!

AKPALOO WILL SOON START FAKING ILLNESS FOR HOSPITAL ADMISSION! WATCH THIS SPACE!

EI, GHANA! SO, THIS USELESS BLOCKHEADED REDUNDANT PAUL ADOM OSTRICH BOY WAS ALSO A BOARD CHAIRMAN, I REPEAT, BOARD CHAIRMAN OF GHANA AIRPORTS COMPANY LIMITED, AND WE EXPECTED GHANA AIRPORTS TO GROW, DEVELOP AND FLOURISH? OMG, GHANA!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH GHANA'S LEADERS? DO THEY HAVE WELL-DEVELOPED BRAINS?

NO WONDER POTENTIALLY WEALTHY BUT BANKRUPT GHANA PLC IS ETERNALLY HIGHLY INDEBTED AND ALWAYS CHASING THE IMF/WORLD BANK AND OTHERS FOR LOANS AND OTHER FREEBIE HANDOUTS.

LED BY A CLUELESS "PROFESSOR" VICE-PRESIDENT, BANKRUPT HOPELESS GHANA IS CRYING OUT TO OTHERS FOR DEBTS FORGIVENESS AMIDST A CREDIBLE HISTORY OF A PLETHORA OF NAKED STATE SCANDALS, THIEVERY, STATE LOOTING AND IRRESPONSIBLE PROFLIGATE PUBLIC SPENDING BY REDUNDANT CRIMINAL APPOINTEES OF SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS OF GHANA.

GHANA WILL CRY OUT FOR DEBTS FORGIVENESS TILL THY KINGDOM COME! ONLY FOOLS WOULD LISTEN TO THEIR CRIES AND CROCODILE TEARS!

Dominic Ayine is embarrassing the country. The NDC think the case is in Ghana where they can easily bend the rules to favour them. The ECOWAS Court is going to look into the matter with an objective lens. It is there and then it will be established that our supreme Court is is full of bogus people who don't apply natural justice.

You are confused. It is about jurisdiction over the matter in question not the power of ECOWAS court. How can you ask such useless question when Ghana has already submitted itself to the court.

Pee or whatever you called yourself please don't display your ignorance if you don't have knowledge about something. If you don't know ask, otherwise you will be a stupid person.
In law we have categories of jurisdiction. Subject matter jurisdiction, geographical jurisdiction, personality jurisdiction. As an international courts, it is not all matters that they could exercise jurisdiction. They lack jurisdiction on domestic issues except fundermental human rights, such as right to food, life, etc. But they don't have jurisdiction over constitutional human rights like right to vote, marry etc. So an international court, their jurisdictions have limits, their jurisdictions are not absolute.
So if AG has raised a jurisdictional issue, it is up to the court to go into the merits of the jurisdictional issue & determined it whether they have jurisdiction or not. After determination, if they have, before the merits of the substantive case.

Note all international courts do not replace domestic courts but support it. They are not superior to domestic courts neither are they supervisors of domestic courts. Hence they are careful when it comes to jurisdiction because each state maintains its sovereignty.

Jurisdictional concerns should form part of the Respondent's defence/response to the complaint filed. So their justification for delaying in responding to the Complainant's/Applicant's claim is not tangible.

Does the seat of Chief Justice belong to this woman alone? Doesn't she has predecessors? Why is she behaving childishly like that? Is the seat her family stool? She should give us a break with her political decisions at the supreme court. Has she forgotten how she behaved as Chief Justice of Ghana? Actually, she ought to know that she was chief justice for NPP but not for Ghana through her utterances and demeanor.
