A seven-member panel of the Supreme Court has upheld a review application by the Attorney General, challenging an earlier ruling to disallow Justice Honyenuga from hearing the trial involving former COCOBOD CEO, Dr Stephen Opuni.

Reacting to the ruling, Attorney General, Godfred Dame, said the ruling is in order, and that the concerns from lawyers of Dr Opuni were rather mischievous.
