From the provisions of the Constitution and the Courts Act, Act 459, whilst the judicial committees of the Houses of Chiefs have been categorised as lower courts created on the authority of the Constitution, 1992, the Disciplinary Committee of the General Legal Council has not been listed as one of such courts. Again, under the interpretation section of the Court of Appeal Rules [C.I. 19], ‘court’ has been defined to mean “a court of competent jurisdiction” whilst ‘court below’ means, “the court from which the appeal is brought”.
