Richard Sky’s legal challenge against the anti-gay bill scheduled for July 3

Written by on June 25, 2024

The Supreme Court has scheduled July 3, 2024, to hear the case filed by private legal practitioner Richard Dela Sky challenging Parliament’s passage of the controversial anti-gay bill.

Sky seeks a declaration of nullity, arguing that the Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill is unconstitutional and violates fundamental human rights.

The court adjourned the case until May 17 to allow Sky to file an updated motion paper, a supporting affidavit, and a clear statement of his case, providing a stronger basis for his legal challenge.

A notice issued by the court’s registrar, Hellen Ofei-Ayeh (Mrs), on June 14, confirmed that the hearing will proceed as scheduled on July 3, regardless of the presence of representatives from each party.

The notice serves as a reminder to all parties to ensure their representatives are present, as failure to appear may result in forfeiture of their opportunity to be heard.

“NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the above-mentioned case has been scheduled for WEDNESDAY, THE 3RD DAY OF JULY, 2024, at 9:30 am for hearing.

“If the case is called and you fail to appear, the Court will proceed to hear the matter in your absence.”
