The Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by Kennedy Agyapong asking to stop a legal case. This is his second attempt to halt the proceedings.
The defamation lawsuit was filed against Mr. Agyapong by Kwesi Twum, the CEO of the Multimedia Group. The Multimedia Group and Joy FM are also named in the suit.
Justices Angelina Mensah Homiah and Emmanuel [REDACTED] heard the arguments for the dismissal bid. The ruling was made on Tuesday morning.
The court's decision means the defamation trial can continue as planned. Mr. Agyapong sought to prevent the case from moving forward.
Details of the specific claims in the defamation suit have not been fully revealed in public court filings related to this appeal.
The Court of Appeal's finding upholds the lower court's decision to allow the case to proceed, rejecting the grounds presented by Mr. Agyapong's lawyers.
This ruling is a significant step in the legal process for the Multimedia Group's defamation claim.
