Accra High Court Throws Out Menzgold Suit Against BoG And SEC

The High Court in Accra has thrown out Menzgold Ghana Limited’s suit filed against the Security and Exchange Commission [SEC] and the Bank of Ghana [BoG].

The court which was presided over by Mrs Justice Akua Amoah, threw out the suit based on a preliminary legal objection raised by BoG and SEC.

The two entities had argued that Menzgold was not able to exhaust all the regulatory mechanism for redress before heading to court.
The court in an agreement with the two regulatory entities dismissed the suit by Menzgold.
The suit by Menzgold

In September, 2018 after Menzgold’s licence was revoked by SEC, it dragged SEC and BoG to court.
The company claimed that the activities of the two entities are dangerous to its business.

According to the company, notices issued by SEC and BoG in relation to its operations were “arbitrary, capricious and contrary to articles 23 and 296 of the 1992 Constitution.”

Menzgold, thus, among other reliefs, wanted a declaration from the court that its activities did not fall under the scope of the BoG or the SEC’s regulations.

"I’m just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and asking myself what’s the purpose of life? Is it not the peak of heartlessness to knock down a fellow being and speed off? To you, the driver of the WHITE saloon car, who hit Lt. Felix Sormenah at Aburi on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and bolted; may you never find peace. One of your driver’s mirrors, which got yanked off due to the impact of your recklessness is with the police. Help Please, don’t be an accessory to murder if your friend, husband, brother or uncle came home that night without a driver’s mirror or confessed his deed to you. He hit a military officer, who was training officer cadets and never stopped to help.
