Court of Appeal

 It is the second highest Court in the hierarchy of the Superior Courts.

Judges who sit in the Court of Appeal are referred to as Justices of the Court of Appeal. As the name implies, all appeal cases from the High Courts, Regional Tribunals and Civil appeals from Circuit Courts are brought to the Court of Appeal.

It also hears appeals from some of the administrative bodies including Commissions of Inquiry set under the Constitution. It is therefore, purely an appellate Court.

It has no original jurisdiction. A panel of three duly constitutes the Court of Appeal. Currently, the Court of Appeal is located in Accra (for the southern sector) and Kumasi (for the Northern sector)

Appellate court affirmed interlocutory injunction after striking vague appeal grounds and ordered applicant to give an undertaking to pay damages.
* Civil procedure – Interlocutory injunction – exercise of judicial discretion on injunctive relief – appellate interference only for misdirection or omission. * Appeal practice – Compliance with Court of Appeal Rules (C.I.19) – grounds of appeal must be concise and particularized; vague/narrative grounds struck out. * Evidence – oral testimony of court-appointed surveyor admissible in interlocutory proceedings where material facts conflict, but not determinative of merits. * Remedies – adequacy of damages and requirement for undertaking as condition to interlocutory injunction.
