In a two-month legal vacation, starting from August 1, 2023, until September 30, 2023, the Chief Justice (CJ), Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, has designated specific courts to remain operational within the Law Court Complex in Accra.

While the superior courts, including the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and most High Courts, will be on recess, the Chief Justice has taken measures to avoid creating a judicial vacuum.

As a result, 12 out of the 42 High Courts within the complex will continue to function during the legal vacation, in addition to some of the lower courts.

The 12 High Courts designated to sit over the course of the legal vacation are Commercial Court 2, Commercial Court 10, Criminal Court 1, Criminal Court 3, General Jurisdiction Court 12, General Jurisdiction Court 9, General Jurisdiction Court 6, General Jurisdiction Court 3, Financial Court 2, Land Court 10, Land Court 3, and Probate Court 3.
