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