The Court of Appeal has thrown out an application filed by Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, a member of the board of Trustees of the National Cathedral project.
The suit sought to restrain the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa from discussing him in relation to the National Cathedral project.
Prior to Wednesday’s ruling, the founder and overseer of the Power Chapel International had lost two similar suits at the High Court.
According to the court, the grounds of appeal failed to comply with the rules of the Court of appeal.
It said, “the grounds are incompetent and inadmissible” and struck it out.
“The application was against the rules of the Court of Appeal that says the Appalent must clearly state where the judge erred.”
The court awarded the defendant, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa 3,000 cedis.
Haven failed on two previous occasions, this is the third attempt by Rev. Kusi Boateng also known in other quarters as Adu Gyamfi to restrain the MP.
His lawyers had furnished the court with additional grounds, hoping to turn the tide in their favour in a legal battle that has garnered public interest.
