*ACCUSER, JUDGE AND EXECUTIONER: HOW GHANA’S SUPERIOR COURTS BREACH ‘NEMO JUDEX IN CAUSA SUA’ IN CONTEMPT ADJUDICATIONS; A WAKEUP CALL FOR COMPREHENSIVE PROCEDURAL RULES TO GUIDE CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS.*
This paper by Her Honour Judge Sedinam Awo Kwadam (Mrs.) critiques the practice of Ghanaian judges presiding over contempt cases from their own proceedings, arguing it violates the principle of natural justice. It calls for procedural reforms, including amendments to Order 50 and binding practice directions, to ensure impartial adjudication and uphold constitutional integrity.
