Stop using media to challenge judicial decisions – Thaddeus Sory to lawyers

Private legal practitioner Thaddeus Sory has advised lawyers dissatisfied with judicial decisions to utilize established legal procedures rather than resorting to the media, public pressure, or boycotts. Sory warned that public commentary on sensitive matters could exacerbate tensions without resolving the underlying issues. His remarks follow controversy surrounding Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie's directive allowing certain High Court judges to operate during the legal vacation, which has been opposed by lawyers representing former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene and former National Food Buffer Stock Company Chief Executive Officer Hanan Abdul-Wahab.

Sory suggested that lawyers have multiple avenues available, including challenging rulings through the courts, and encouraged them to directly engage with the Chief Justice to present their objections instead of immediately initiating public campaigns.
