FRANCIS KWARTENG ARTHUR VS GHANA TELECOM CO. LTD & 4 ORS (H1/203/2022) [2023] GHACA 231 (16 February 2023)

The Court of Appeal held that the High Court was within its discretion to award damages for violation of the applicant's right to privacy, even though damages were not specifically pleaded, as the applicant provided unchallenged evidence of personal rights violation. The damages awarded were not excessive. However, the High Court erred in ordering the amendment of the Executive Instrument within a specified timeline, as this exceeded judicial authority.
