According to myjoyonline.com, the application sought to halt High Court proceedings after the trial court refused to suspend its December 9, 2025, ruling allowing the first prosecution witness to testify in camera. Dr Tagoe’s legal team argued that the measure could compromise her constitutional right to a fair and public hearing, claiming that exceptional circumstances warranted a temporary halt. After considering arguments from both sides, the Court of Appeal ruled that Dr. Tagoe had not demonstrated exceptional circumstances to justify stopping the trial. The application was therefore dismissed, allowing proceedings at the High Court to continue. The trial centres on allegations that Bissue and his co-accused received bribes and illicit gifts to unlawfully fast-track a mining concession sticker for an unlicensed company.
