Court access, company dissolutions and legislative corrections lead

The judicial staff strike remains unresolved, while company strike-off notices require prompt attention. Parliament faces defective bill penalties and calls to end the state vehicle insurance exemption.

Attorney-General meets JUSAG over continuing strike

The Attorney-General has met JUSAG leaders over the ongoing judicial service staff strike and pledged to pursue an urgent resolution with the Finance Minister. He said he had advised the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission that the disputed allowances were supported by the Judicial Service Terms and Conditions Regulations, 2025, C.I. 141. The report does not announce a settlement or suspension of industrial action. Practitioners should confirm registry and hearing arrangements directly rather than assume normal court operations have resumed.

ORC issues strike-off notices and confirms 323 dissolutions

The Office of the Registrar of Companies has placed 453 companies on notice under section 289(3) of the Companies Act, 2019, Act 992, and confirmed the dissolution of another 323 under section 289(5). The proposed strike-offs follow a notice dated 15 October 2026, allowing three months for cause to be shown against removal. Counsel should check Companies Bulletin Volumes 48 and 49 for affected clients and counterparties, distinguishing pending removals from completed dissolutions. The distinction matters when advising on transactions, creditor recovery and the appropriate route to regularisation or restoration.

Parliament plans to reopen bill over defective penalties

Majority Leader James Agalga says Parliament will rescind its third-reading approval of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill to correct its penal provisions. He identified errors in calculating penalty units and inconsistencies with existing legislation that could impede sentencing. This is an announced procedural step, not a completed rescission or an enacted amendment. Practitioners should examine the revised text when available, including the treatment of professional-service exemptions, rather than rely on accounts of the earlier passage.

Equal Justice Under Law

An architecture of justice, an institution of consequence.

The Chamber stands within a tradition older than any single republic — a discipline expressed in stone, in scholarship, and in the quiet gravity of public service.

§ 01, Institutional Identity

A convocation of jurists in the service of law, honour and country.

The Chamber is not a regulator, nor a bar association. It is a non-partisan learned society, private, selective, and devoted to scholarship, mentorship and civic contribution. Membership is by invitation, on the basis of achievement, character and service.

01

Non-Regulatory

A voluntary learned society, distinct from the General Legal Council and the Ghana Bar Association.

02

Non-Partisan

Independent of political affiliation, guided solely by the discipline of law and public interest.

03

Selective

Invitation-only fellowship extended on the basis of merit, integrity and contribution.

§ 02, The Four Pillars

§ Interlude, The Halls

Where learning keeps its counsel.

From colonnaded porticos to the panelled quiet of the library, the Chamber's convocations unfold in rooms designed for the slow, careful work of jurisprudence.
