Lawyer to sue AG over reviewed judicial charges

A private legal practitioner Mathias Kwasi Yakah has threatened to sue the Attorney General over the reviewed court charges.

Mr. Kwasi Yakah is demanding a justification for the upward review of the charges, which he describes as “unnecessary”.

The Judicial Service has increased the court fees by between 50 and 300 hundred percent.

The move follows the recent Parliamentary approval of CI 86 which spells out the various charges approved for the courts under the law.

Speaking to Starr News, the aggrieved lawyer said the new charges will bring additional hardships to clients and subsequently affect justice delivery in the country.
