Court operations across Ghana are expected to return to normal Today, November 10, after two judicial workers’ unions suspended their industrial action following negotiations with the Judicial Service management.
The suspension by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG) takes immediate effect, paving the way for staff to return to their duties.
In a statement dated November 9, 2026, the Judicial Service said discussions with the leadership of the two associations had resulted in a mutual understanding to end the disruption.
The industrial action had affected court operations and restricted access to judicial services for litigants, lawyers and other court users across the country.
The Judicial Service apologised to the President, the Executive arm of government, Parliament, members of the legal profession and the general public for the inconvenience caused by the strike.
It particularly expressed regret to court users who experienced delays and disruptions in accessing judicial services during the period.
The Service also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the timely and efficient administration of justice, while thanking stakeholders for their patience as efforts continued to resolve the concerns raised by the unions.
JUSAG and SSAJUG embarked on the industrial action over concerns about the approval and implementation of revised salaries and conditions of service.
Although the unions have suspended the action, the Judicial Service says the immediate return of staff will allow courts nationwide to resume normal sittings from Tuesday.
