The Supervising High Court Judge for the Ashanti Region, Justice Kofi Akrowiah, has sworn in 22 Commissioners for Oath with a call on them to operate within the confines of their functions.
He said one main concern of judges and lawyers about commissioners for oath was the practice where some of them “have arrogated onto themselves the very important role of lawyers in the preparation of pleadings before the courts, in particular the superior courts.”
According to him, such practice could land them in legal liabilities when their clients were unable to secure favourable judgement or incur consequential liabilities.
