A High Court presided over by Her Ladyship, Adoley Azu, has adjourned to 5th June the case involving The Forum for Governance and Justice (FGJ) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
The Public Utility Regulatory Commission (PURC) mandated a commissioner of the Commission, David Ametepe, to represent the Commission as witness of the plaintiff.
The plaintiff, Lawyer George Tetteh Wayo in his examination of the PURC sought to explain the effects of the pull out by the TUC.
The TUC last year suspended their membership on the board following the upward adjustment of tariffs.
The FGJ is therefore praying the court to order the Union to restore its membership on the board of the PURC.
In an interview with Citi News, the Director of Communications for the Forum, Robert Afulimi, said though TUC is now being represented on the board, he seeks to make the court declare TUC’s action as unconstitutional “so that no one will repeat this same action some time to come”.
The presiding judge adjourned the case to June 5, 2014 where the examination of the second witness of the plaintiff will be continued.
