DIVISION: IN THE SUPREME COURT
DATE: 8TH APRIL, 1963
BEFORE: OLLENNU, BLAY AND AKUFO-ADDO JJ.S.C.
COUNSEL
G. D. Ampaw for the applicant.
Agadzie for the respondent.
JUDGMENT OF COURT
In a ruling on a motion on notice for an order for special leave to appeal, their lordships held that, “The
jurisdiction of this court under Rule 28 of the Supreme Court Rules to entertain an application for special
leave to appeal is exercisable, as stated in Rule 9, where an appeal lies under any law with special leave
either of the High Courts or of this court. Under section 8 of the Courts Act, 1960, which applies to this
application, special leave is required only of the High Court and not either of the High Court or of this
court. In the circumstances this court is incompetent to grant special leave to appeal. The application is
accordingly dismissed with costs.”
DECISION
Application dismissed.
J. D.
