The Supreme Court has given #FixTheCountry lobbyist Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a cost of GHc10,000 as it pardoned a case he tended to on.
Obviously frustrated with the rules of cycles recorded, as well as the idea of Mr. Baker-Vormavor's Legal depiction in court on Tuesday, the court said the application was "immaterial", "vexatious" and the court found "no authenticity in it".
The vociferous lobbyist was a legitimate guide on the record for a social occasion calling itself Democratic Accountability Lab in a matter under the careful focus of the court.
The get-together was attempting to commit the Commissioner-General, Ghana Revenue Authority, and the Ghana Revenue Authority itself, to disdain for the May 1, 2022 execution of the problematic e-request, while there was a mandate application impending in respect of the execution.
The social occasion let the court in on that the movement introduced the court to ridicule.
Sooner had Oliver Barker-Vormawor revealed himself than an impact of requests overpowered him, going from standard practices, through framework to significant guideline, including perspective (picked cases).
Head of the 7-section Court, Nene Amegatcher tried him on the propriety of the title of the case brought under the watchful eye of the court.
He moreover asked regarding the reason why the charge was not focused on a specific power of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), observing that affiliations can't be refered to for scorn.
The ladies and Lords of the Court again mentioned from him the real reason whereupon he hoped to appear before them, and to commit the public power and establishment "to imprison".
As His Lordship, Emmanuel Yoni Kulendi thundered peacefully, "we are a court, not a NGO. What we want is your legitimate power, not your perspective and addresses".
For Her Ladyship, Prof. Mensah-Bonsu, Mr. Barker-Vomarvor came "as a nosy observer".
"You can't be a distant who wails more grounded than the seized. So we really want to hear you on the law and the trained professionals", Her Ladyship beat.
Reeling under the weight and power of the effect, the honest protester searched for cover under a 1976 High Court decision in Okine v. Mawu and Another.
This case, according to lawful guide Barker-Vormawor, is premise that a disdain application may be brought by even a pariah.
Likewise as lady Lovelace Johnson pushed for current real factors of this power and the particular holding of the Court, ruler Professor Ashie Kotei was asking concerning why a 1976 High Court decision was being used to fight a case in 2022 at the Supreme Court.
Not moved by the passages of the Democratic Accountability Lab's lawyer, the Court said it did "not figure we should move toward counsel for the second respondent to reply, the applicant in our view has no locus in this".
"The real application," the Court said, "is harmed and doesn't look at the demonstration of establishing start notice of developments in this court."
Here is the full enhancement of the Court, Nene Amegatcher as President, Prof Ashie Kotey, Mariama Owusu, Lovelace Johnson, Gertrude Torkonoo, Prof Henrietta Mensah Bonsu and Emmanuel Yoni Kulendi.
