Peacefmonline.com can confirm that lawyers for businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome have filed two applications at the Supreme Court seeking a review of an earlier decision by the apex court that would have allowed ex-Attorney-General, Martin Amidu, to cross examine the former over a controversial ¢51 million judgment debt paid him [Woyome] in 2010.

With the two applications filed at the Supreme Court, one is praying the highest court of the land to review the ruling of the court presided over by Justice Enin Yeboah a week ago.

On November 16, 2016, Justice Enin Yeboah ruled that Mr Amidu can orally examine Mr Woyome on issues relating to the controversial ¢51 million given to the latter and how the state can retrieve the money paid to him

This was after the Attorney General, who had initially applied for same, surprisingly made a u-turn by discontinuing the process to examine him.

The writ a copy of which is the possession of PEACEFMONLINE reads: "TAKE NOTICE that counsel for and on behalf of the applicant herein will move this honorable court praying for an order for the reversal of the ruling dated 16th November 2016 of His Lordship Anin Yeboah JSC sitting as a single justice in the afore-mentioned case."

The second application, on the other hand is a request for a stay of proceedings to enable the court determine the motion for review.

A stay of proceedings is a ruling by the court in civil and criminal procedure, halting further legal process in a trial or other legal proceedings.

The writ thus pitches both the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Martin Amidu, in one corner as defendants in the case.

For now, it is obvious the highly-anticipated November 24th showdown between the self-confessed NDC financier and the citizen vigilante, perhaps his biggest arch-enemy; billed for the Supreme Court seems hanging, at least for the time being, with the questioning of the propriety of Justice Anin Yeboah's ruling.
