Judiciary to roll out electronic court processes from October - Chief Justice

Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie announced that Ghana's Judiciary will introduce electronic filing, authentication, and service of court processes from October 1, 2026. This announcement was made at the grand durbar marking the climax of the Supreme Court's 150th anniversary celebration at the Ohene Konadu Auditorium of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA). He stated, "Again, beginning in October when the legal year starts, we commence automation of the courts across the country, starting with the Supreme Court, to be followed by the Court of Appeal, and the High Court."

These reforms, to be implemented under the Judiciary's E-Justice Plus Agenda, will also include the phased automation of courts nationwide, beginning with the Supreme Court. Justice Baffoe-Bonnie described the reforms as a significant institutional step rather than merely a technological innovation. He said the administration of justice must continue to evolve to meet the demands of the twenty-first century and that technology should make justice more accessible, efficient, and responsive. The reforms are part of the broader E-Justice Plus Agenda aimed at building a modern judicial system while preserving its enduring values. The Judiciary has also completed a review of the Rules of Court.
