According to the report, in a writ filed on February 18, 2026 and numbered J1/9/2026, Asare is seeking declaratory reliefs over what he describes as constitutional breaches in the appointment of Justice Osman. The suit questions the eligibility of Justice Osman at the time he applied for the position of High Court Judge, arguing that he had not attained ten years’ standing at the Bar as required by the Constitution. According to the writ, Asare is seeking a declaration that the vetting of Justice Osman and the advice subsequently given to the President recommending his appointment were unconstitutional. He is seeking clarification on whether lawyers with less than ten years’ standing at the Bar are eligible to apply for appointment as Justices of the High Court.
