Cape Coast — Court operations at the Central Regional Court Complex in Cape Coast have resumed following the suspension of the strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG), which had disrupted activities at the courts.

A visit to the court complex on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, showed that workers had returned to their offices, with most departments reopened and staff attending to their duties.

However, activities at the facility were relatively slow, as only a few court users were seen around the premises, possibly because some members of the public were yet to receive information about the resumption of work.

The Regional Secretary of the Senior Staff Association, Mr. Paul Ochere Koffie, confirmed that workers had resumed duty following an agreement reached with the government on outstanding payments and the implementation of their conditions of service.

According to him, the government has agreed to pay the outstanding 2026 arrears in two instalments, with five months' arrears expected to be paid in November and the remaining five months in December.

He added that the full implementation of C.I. 141 is scheduled to commence in January 2027.

Consequently, Mr. Koffie urged court users, including litigants and other members of the public, to return to the court complex, assuring them that judicial officers, registrars and other staff are available to attend to their needs.

He expressed hope that normal court operations would continue without further disruptions.

The resumption is also expected to restore economic activities around the court complex, particularly for traders and small business operators whose livelihoods were affected by the suspension of court services.
