Supreme Court schedules November arguments in major religion case

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on November 3 in a major case involving Colorado's requirement that Catholic preschools enroll children of same-sex couples to receive public funds. This case provides a pathway for the high court to narrow a major religious precedent, according to The Hill.

In a separate development, the High Court in Accra has dismissed an application by businessman Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, seeking to restrain the enforcement of a $14.9 million judgment obtained by UK-based Cola Holdings Limited. The judgment, dated January 23, 2025, was registered in Ghana on May 20, 2025. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana and Adom Online, the court's decision was made on July 27, 2026.

The judgment stems from a Deed of Indemnity signed by Bediako in respect of his share of the repayment of a loan from the International Finance Corporation. Cola Holdings guaranteed the loan. The English court ordered Bediako to pay $14,928,314.70, plus interest at eight percent per annum. At the Treasury exchange rate of GH₵16.15 to the dollar, the total amount, including interest and costs, is estimated at approximately GH₵258.76 million.
