For any reason which would impede against a just ruling or foster bias, judges are allowed to step down from ruling on a case—and in the on-going Montie Fm’s contempt case, Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood, and another judge of the Supreme Court, Sulley Gbadegbe, have stepped down from the panel hearing.
According to Wood and Gbadegbe, they did so because their names were specifically mentioned in the comments of the three people facing the contempt charges.
The two have been replaced by Justice Sophia Akuffo and Justice Julius Ansah.
