Assin North MP Files for Stay of Proceedings
Lawyers for the embattled Assin North MP James Gyakye Quayson have filed for stay of proceedings at the High Court adjudicating the case involving criminal charges brought against him by the state.
Tsatsu Tsikata, lead lawyer for Quayson, told Justice Elfreda Dankyi’s court that they have filed an application for stay of proceedings at the High Court which is expected to be moved on 28 March 2022.
The director of public prosecution (DPP), Yvonne Atakora Obuobisa, told the court that the state has filed all of its witness statements and has made other disclosures as ordered by the court and is therefore ready for the case management conference (CMC).
Tsikata, suggested to the court that in light of his pending application, the next court sitting can be adjourned to Monday 28 March so all matters can be dealt with at the proposed sitting.
Justice Elfreda Dankyi after hearing the parties ruled that since she does not have access to the court premises on Mondays, she will adjourn sitting to Tuesday 29 March 2022, to hear the pending application and also to conduct the CMC.
