Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has directed the Supreme Court to proceed with its normal court proceedings on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, despite an indefinite strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG).

A notice issued by the Judicial Service on Monday, November 2, instructed lawyers and parties with cases scheduled before the apex court to attend to their matters as planned.

The notice stated that the directive was given pursuant to the Chief Justice’s instructions to ensure that the Supreme Court convenes for its regular business.

JUSAG strike disrupts court operations

The directive comes amid an ongoing industrial action by JUSAG over the government’s failure to approve a proposed review of salaries and related allowances for Judicial Service staff.

The strike, which began on Monday, November 2, disrupted operations at several court facilities across the country.

Among the affected institutions were the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Accra Circuit Court and some District Court offices, which were reportedly locked.

Red pieces of cloth were also tied to the entrances of some court premises as a visible sign of the association’s protest.

JUSAG expected to meet Labour Ministry

Meanwhile, JUSAG is expected to meet the Ministry of Labour on Tuesday, November 3, to discuss its outstanding demands concerning the proposed salary and allowances review.

The outcome of the meeting could provide further direction on the ongoing industrial action and its impact on judicial operations.

Our Democracy News GH will continue to monitor developments surrounding the strike and its implications for court proceedings across Ghana.
