A new Specialised High Court Division will use judges with special training. The Judicial Secretary, Musah Ahmed, confirmed this. These judges will handle cases within the new division.
Many of the judges for this division will be chosen from the Court of Appeal. This move aims to ensure the new court has highly skilled personnel.
The Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, established these courts through a circular on February 5, 2026. This information provides a clearer understanding of how the new courts will operate.
The Judicial Service will resource the division differently from other courts. This includes staffing it with these specially trained judges.
The Specialised High Court Division will have a distinct role. It will focus on specific types of cases requiring expert legal handling.
