Supreme Court dismisses Justice Dery's suit 


A five member Supreme Court Panel chaired by Justice Julius Ansah have by a unanimous decision dismissed Justice Paul Dery's suit which sought to declare as null and void proceedings instituted by the Chief Justice to remove him and several other judges who are alleged to have taken bribes from office.

The Supreme Court held that even though Tiger Eye PI did violate article 146 clause 8 of the 1992 constitution, it doesn't mean that the constitutional process to inquire into the petition should be declared null and void.

The embattled High court judge and several other judges were captured in a video taking monies to decide on cases before them by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye firm.

So far, twenty of the Magistrate and Circuit Court judges implicated in the scandal have been sacked from office.
