The High Court in Accra has adjourned to January 23, 2026, to hear an interlocutory injunction application filed by the Vehicle Embossment Association of Ghana (VEMAG) against the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) against rolling out a digital or any new vehicle number plate registration system.
The adjournment was because the Plaintiffs VEMAG and 26 others are yet to be formally served with DVLA’s affidavit in opposition to their application.
Last week, Monday, January 12, the Court adjourned the case to ensure that the Defendant (DVLA) was served with the substantive writ to enable the Court to proceed to hear the injunction.
In an application for injunction following a suit filed by BEMENCO Embossment Ltd and 26 other plaintiffs, all members of the Vehicle Embossment Association of Ghana (VEMAG), they are seeking to restrain the DVLA from rolling out a digital or any new vehicle number plate registration system beginning January 2026.
The injunction requests that the DVLA be restrained from introducing digitalized vehicle number plates or any new registration plates until the court determines the merits of the case.
They are also asking that the DVLA be prevented from implementing any alternative arrangement for the embossment and supply of vehicle number plates outside the existing framework involving the plaintiffs.
In Court on Monday, January 19, 2026, lawyers for the Plaintiffs indicated that they had not been served with the Defendant’s affidavit in opposition, a position corroborated by the Court’s records that there was no proof of service.
Counsel for the defendant had told the Court that they filed the affidavit in opposition and entry of appearance on January 16.
In view of the Plaintiffs not receiving the processes, the case has been adjourned to January 23 for hearing of the Application.
