4 HOURS AGO
The Human Rights Court 1 of the High court has set May 31 for judgement in the discrimination lawsuit between Tyrone Marhguy and the Achimota School.
This comes after the court presided over by Her Ladyship, Gifty Adjei Addo, heard the merits of the case.
In court on Friday, May 14, 2021, the lawyer for the Board of governors of the Achimota School, Kwesi Fynn and the Attorney General, Godfred Dame argued that the applicant has no cause of action because nothing within the scope of his right to education and religion has been infringed upon.
Rasta students case: Court dismisses Achimota School lawyer s request to merge two suits Listen to article
The Human Rights Division of the High Court has rejected a request from the lawyer representing the Achimota school to consolidate two suits brought against it by Oheneba Nkrabea and Tyrone Marhguy, both dreadlocked students denied admission because of their hair.
The Judge, lady Gifty Addo in response said granting the request will not be for the expedited nature in which she wants the case to run, especially since both cases would require their own judgment in the end.
The school in this case however filed its affidavit in opposition to the case on Friday, April 30, 2021, a situation the judge said has not permitted her to peruse the document.
