The letter is asking the court to allow the lawyers time to argue on a point made by Justice Samuel K Marful -Sau, one of the Justices hearing the petition, during Mr Tsatsu Tsikata’s argument in support of the motion to reopen the case.

Justice Marful-Sau based his point on the fact that the court had ruled that Mrs Mensa cannot be compelled to testify.

The lawyers want to present the new arguments before the court delivers its ruling today on the application by the petitioner seeking for leave (permission) to reopen his case.

“We respectfully wish to crave the indulgence of your Lordships to hear lead counsel on this matter which came up during the question of Justice Marful-Sau right at the end of the day’s proceedings. This opportunity to address the court on the issue before the ruling that Your Lordships are due to deliver tomorrow on our application will, in our respectful view, advance the interest of justice,” the letter stated.
