Courts across Ghana will resume normal sittings today, Tuesday, November 10, 2026, following the suspension of the strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) and the Senior Staff Association of the Judicial Service of Ghana (SSAJUG).
The decision follows discussions between the leadership of the two associations and the management of the Judicial Service, which resulted in a mutual understanding to resolve the issues that triggered the industrial action.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, and signed by the Judicial Secretary, Musah Ahmed, the Service directed all staff members to resume duty with immediate effect.
“Following productive discussions between the leadership of the Associations and the Management of the Judicial Service, a mutual understanding has been reached,” the statement said.
It added that all staff were expected to return to work immediately to restore judicial services across the country.
The Judicial Service expressed regret over the disruption caused by the strike, acknowledging its impact on the administration of justice and the inconvenience to court users.
It apologised to President John Dramani Mahama and the Executive arm of government, the Speaker and Members of Parliament, the legal profession and the general public.
“The Judicial Service deeply regrets the disruption to the administration of justice caused by this industrial action,” the statement noted.
The Service reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the seamless and expeditious delivery of justice, assuring the public that efforts would continue towards a sustainable resolution of the concerns raised by the two associations.
It also thanked stakeholders and court users for their patience and understanding throughout the period.
Although the statement confirmed that a mutual understanding had been reached, it did not disclose the specific terms of the agreement or any outstanding issues requiring further negotiations.
