ECOWAS COURT THROWS OUT GERTRUDE TORKORNOO’S APPLICATION TO SUSPEND HER REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AS CHIEF JUSTICE

The Court is, therefore, satisfied that the Applicant has not demonstrated the existence of imminent or exceptional circumstances that would justify the urgency of the application filed almost three months after the act complained of.

In light of the Applicant’s failure to meet the requirement of urgency, the Court finds no basis to assess the remaining criteria for provisional measures. The request for provisional measures as outlined by the Applicant, being unsubstantiated, is therefore dismissed.
