Four
judges yesterday resumed work at the High Courts complex in Banjul, after being
given their letters of appointment.
These
judges are to be presiding over, among others, cases which have been left
unattended to since December 2016, as a result of the political impasse, which
made many of the judges to return to their native countries.
According
to judicial sources, these four judges were given their appointment letters
during the weekend, and asked to resume work yesterday, Monday 20 March 2017.
The
judges are Hon. Justice Martins U. Okoi at the Civil and Commercial Division,
Hon. Justice Simon A. Abi at the Criminal Division, Hon. Justice Edward Ogar
from Brikama now at the Lands and Civil Division, and Hon. Justice O. Agboola
from the Appeals Division to the court of former Justice Ottaba (Special
Criminal Court).
