Francis Xavier-Sosu, a renowned Human Rights Lawyer has filed an appeal  today at the Court of Appeal in Accra to challenge a 3-year ban imposed on him by the General Legal Council.

He is seeking a declaration that the General Legal Council erred in imposing the ban on him for overcharging a client and advertising his firm on social media among other things.

The human rights lawyer is also seeking a declaration from the court that the charge of touting and personal advertisement levelled against him by the General Legal Council is discriminatory and contrary to Article 17 of the 1992 Constitution. He is praying the court to quash his 3-year ban.
