The fast track division of the High court will today hear an application by embattled high court judge Paul Dery for an order of substituted service of their suits on investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
[contextly_sidebar id=”GmbIgeYai4zFhE69947PLKvfs3N1yOox”]In their application for substituted services, lawyers for the judge argue that Anas and his investigative team Tigereyepi have been unavailable in their offices to be served the two writs, though the other defendants have all been served.
Justice Paul Dery on September 14, 2015 filed a writ of summons and an interlocutory injunction seeking to stop today’s premier of the video, which allegedly captured him and other judges, taking bribes.
The judge will today be seeking leave of the court to serve Anas by posting on the door of the offices of Tigereye PI and also on the notice board of the High Court.
Justice Paul Dery had filed a suit to stop the premiering of the video at the Accra International Conference Centre.
Reliefs Justice Dery is seeking
Justice Dery is seeking a declaration that the intended public screening of the contents of the audio visual recordings to the public by Tiger Eye P I at the AICC is prejudicial to the plaintiff’s right to a fair hearing.
He is also seeking an order restraining the defendants and their agents from making the AICC available for the intended public screening of the said video from September 22 to September 23, 2015.
“A perpetual injunction restraining the defendants and their agents from publishing the contents of the illegality and unlawfully procured audio visual recordings at any of its facilities.”
“A perpetual injunction restraining the defendants and their agents from carrying out or making the AICC or any of its facilities available for public screening of the said illegally and unlawfully procured audio visual recordings.”
“Cost including legal fees and any other order (s) that the honourable court may deem fit to make.”
