Legal practitioner Kwame Fosu-Gyeabour has filed a writ at the High Court challenging the actions of the General Legal Council (GLC). Fosu-Gyeabour alleges that the GLC's decision to bar him from practicing law is not only unlawful but also unconstitutional.

The saga began on April 20, 2023, when Fosu-Gyeabour was convicted and sentenced by the GLC's disciplinary committee, resulting in a twelve-month suspension from practicing law starting May 1, 2023.

However, before he could obtain a copy of the decision, the GLC released a public notice on May 2, 2023, detailing his sentence via various social media platforms, a move he deems as irregular and unfair.

Despite filing an appeal and obtaining a stay of execution from the Court of Appeal, the GLC allegedly failed to communicate this to the public, continuing to portray Fosu-Gyeabour as suspended. Even after the Supreme Court dismissed the GLC's motion to quash the stay of execution, Fosu-Gyeabour claims the GLC issued a circular on February 16, 2024, declaring his license for the year 2024 as not renewed and instructing courts not to grant him audience.

Fosu-Gyeabour asserts that the GLC overstepped its authority by nullifying court orders and preventing him from practicing law without due process. He seeks redress through a declaration that the GLC's actions are illegal, unfair, and unconstitutional. Additionally, he demands the setting aside of the circular issued by the GLC and a perpetual injunction to prevent further interference with his legal practice.
