Chief Justice Baffoe-Bonnie has responded to requests to halt criminal trials during Ghana's legal vacation.
He stated that adjourning a case is a judicial act, meaning judges decide whether to postpone trials.
This statement pushes back against calls from lawyers and the Ghana Bar Association.
They had asked for criminal trials to be stopped during the vacation period.
The Chief Justice's remarks clarify the court's position on managing cases during this time.
The Judicial Service maintains control over trial scheduling.
