The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) have suspended their industrial action following discussions with the management of the Judicial Service.
The suspension is expected to restore normal operations across the country’s courts, with all courts scheduled to resume regular sittings on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.
In a press release dated November 9, 2026, and signed by Judicial Secretary Musah Ahmed, the Judicial Service announced that an agreement had been reached between the leadership of the two associations and management, paving the way for the suspension of the strike.
“Following productive discussions between the leadership of the Associations and the Management of the Judicial Service, a mutual understanding has been reached,” the statement said.
It added that all staff were expected to resume their duties with immediate effect.
The Judicial Service further assured the public that “all courts across the country will resume normal sittings effective tomorrow, Tuesday, 10th November, 2026.”
The industrial action had disrupted the administration of justice, affecting court activities and inconveniencing litigants, lawyers and other users of the judicial system.
Expressing regret over the disruption, the Judicial Service apologised to President John Dramani Mahama, the Executive arm of Government, the Speaker and Members of Parliament, the legal profession and the general public.
“The Judicial Service deeply regrets the disruption to the administration of justice caused by this industrial action,” the statement said.
It acknowledged the important role courts play in national development and recognised the frustration caused by interruptions to judicial services.
“We acknowledge the key functions the courts play in the life of our nation and the frustration that any interruption to this service inevitably entails,” it added.
The Service said it remained committed to ensuring the “seamless and expeditious delivery of justice for all” and thanked stakeholders for their patience and understanding while efforts were made to resolve the issues.
