The Economic Community of West African States Court, on Monday, disclosed that it disposed of a total of 48 decisions in 2019, the highest number of decisions given in a single year by the court since its inception in 2001.
“This is the most vivid expression of the expressed commitment of the current judges since their assumption of duty at the end of August 2018 to expedite the handling of cases in order to reduce the number of pending cases and help strengthen the confidence of ECOWAS citizens in the court”, a statement credited to the President of the court, Justice Edward Asante, said in reaction to the landmark achievement.
“It is widely acknowledged that justice delayed is justice denied and we want citizens who approach the court to do so, confident that justice will be delivered in a timely manner unlike the experience with some national courts,” he added.
