A Senior Law Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Opoku Adusei, has said lawyer John Ndebugri\u2019s suggestion that members of the public who watched Anas Aremeyaw Anas\u2019 investigative piece <\/a><\/strong><\/span>on judicial corruption on Tuesday are in contempt of court, is flawed.<\/p>\n

John Ndebugri, lawyer for some of the 22 judges who were implicated in the scandal, has condemned the Accra International Conference Centre for allowing the video to be premiered, given that a case of interlocutory injunction was pending against it.<\/p>\n

Scores of people including ministers of state, diplomats and members of the general public converged at the Accra International Conference Centre Tuesday, to watch the video in which over 30 judges and more than 80 court officials were captured in the three-hour video in a two-year investigation allegedly taking bribes.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”o0yLBSPweVuCi3acaGEqAFSrfTUBauBM”]According to Mr. Ndebugri, given the media coverage and attention that the case had received, the people who saw the video could not argue ignorance of the suit against the video premiere and as such, were in contempt of court.<\/p>\n

But a Senior Law Lecturer at the University of Ghana Dr. Poku Adusei, who also watched the video at the AICC, disagrees.<\/p>\n

According to him, the viewers who are not party to the case cannot be liable for contempt of court.<\/p>\n

\u201c…Not at all because we are not party to the whole process or the court action; unless the order is couched in such a way that it is made to bind assigns, privies and agents and all that; and neither of us is an agent of Anas or Tiger Eye so to speak; so we are basically individuals who have come to the Conference centre because a programme is taking place and we need to know what\u2019s going on\u201d.
