The CEO of the Ghana Association of Banks, John Awuah, has emphasized the importance of judges enhancing their understanding of modern and emerging trends in financial cases.
Addressing participants at a Judicial Training Institute focused on financial instruments, Awuah stressed the necessity for judges to acquaint themselves with evolving dynamics within the financial markets.
Highlighting the significance of partnerships and training initiatives, he expressed confidence that such collaborative efforts would enable judges to adjudicate financial cases more effectively in court.
“The judicial service, particularly, the courts is a big part of the financial sector, it’s an integral part of the financial system, and when you give a facility, nobody hopes that the facility gets distressed but disrupts do arise in business relationships and when they do, where do we go for resolution and we go to the court and that is why we find it necessary that where knowledge needs to be deepened or where there are new areas we are able to bring our judges up to speed.” Mr. John Awuah said speaking in an interview with Citi News
The Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Tokornooo also called for the need for judges to enhance their knowledge with changing, and emerging trends in specific and technical areas such as the financial markets in order to improve upon their adjudication
Speaking at a Judicial Training Institute and Treasury warehouse program on the latest trends on financial instruments, the Chief Justice described the training partnership for the judges as timely and every needed.
She explained that some very technical aspects of finance cases and other applications at the court can also be adequately addressed if the judges understand the issues at hand.
