An attempt by lawyers of embattled Member of Parliament for Assin North led by Tsatsu Tsikata for leave to file an additional ground to their review application has failed.
Following the Supreme court’s dismissal of an earlier application challenging a High Court ruling in his criminal trial, James Gyakye Quayson is seeking a review.
However, the February 15, 2023 granted him by the apex court to file his additional processes had elapsed and Mr Tsikata contended that the delay was as result of an information from USA which would be crucial to their review.
The request was opposed to by the prosecution led by the Director of Public Prosecutions Yvonne Atakora Oboubisa.
A seven member panel of the Supreme Court presided over by Justice Jones Dotse said the order of the court previously was clear.
The panel said the request had no basis and it constitute an abuse of court processes. The request was dismissed.
