Professor Asare has said the Supreme Court’s job is to judge constitutional questions. This means they make decisions based on the constitution.
He explained the court is not a place for getting advice on possibilities. It is for ruling on actual legal disputes.
Lawyers have a duty to their clients. They must advise on the strength of legal points. They must also make sure the court has the right power to hear a case.
Using the court’s original jurisdiction requires specific conditions to be met first. A case must be properly presented for the court to act.
This statement comes amid discussions about legal matters that could be brought before the Supreme Court.
The court’s rulings help shape how laws are understood and applied in the country.
