The Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for July 3, 2024, to address the case brought by private legal practitioner Richard Dela Sky against Parliament regarding the controversial anti-gay bill.
Sky is contesting the constitutionality of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill.
He is seeking a declaration that the bill is null and void, arguing that its passage violated national laws and fundamental human rights.
Previously, Sky criticized the Supreme Court for allegedly delaying the hearing of his application.
However, Attorney General Godfred Dame disputed these claims.
The case was adjourned until May 17 to allow Sky to file an updated motion paper, a supporting affidavit, and a clear statement of the case, providing a more detailed basis for his legal challenge.
On June 14, the court issued a notice, signed by its registrar, Hellen Ofei-Ayeh (Mrs), warning that the hearing will proceed as scheduled, regardless of whether representatives from each party are present.
This notice serves to ensure all parties are aware that their representatives must attend the hearing, or they risk forfeiting their opportunity to be heard.
“TAKE NOTICE THAT the above-mentioned case has been fixed for WEDNESDAY THE 3 RD DAY OF JULY, 2024 at 9:30 am for hearing.
“If the case is called and you do not appear to answer, the Court will proceed to hear same without you.”
