The Supreme Court will hear the case filed by private legal practitioner Richard Dela Sky against Parliament on July 3, 2024. Sky is challenging the constitutionality of the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, seeking a declaration that it is null and void, arguing that its passage violated the country’s laws and fundamental human rights.
Initially, the case was adjourned until May 17 to allow Sky to file an updated motion paper with a supporting affidavit and a clear statement of the case, providing a stronger basis for his legal challenge.
On June 14, the court issued a notice, signed by its registrar, Hellen Ofei-Ayeh (Mrs), affirming that the hearing will proceed as scheduled, regardless of whether representatives from each party are present.
The notice warns all parties to ensure their representatives attend the hearing, or risk forfeiting their opportunity to be heard.
“TAKE NOTICE THAT the above-mentioned case has been fixed for WEDNESDAY THE 3RD 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.”
All parties are urged to prepare accordingly for the upcoming court date.
